Suggestions on how or where to hook up the copper wire for this to a 340 SB?
I know that.....That's missing the sending bulb.
That is a stainless braided line, with a copper wire inside. This is where the gauge gets its readings from, I guess....Never saw one off before. Not sure it usually goes into the same place as the sending unit. That tube hollow?
Yes!Well looks like it cannot be replaced. Have to get a new gauge.
Here's an idea... call VDO

I think he has a thermocouple type gauge, not a capillary style tube type. So it’s just the probe copper looking end (the anode/cathode) being held in the coolant. I’ve ran a similar style device to turn on cooling fans automatically. I remember that I had the cathode/anode inserted In the upper radiator hose and the hose clamped down over it, sealing it over, with about an inch or so of anode/cathode hanging out in the coolant.
I don't think so. It looks like a manual gauge to me. The thermocouple type gauge would just have a wire. He has a manual gauge from what I see.

Yeah hard to tell. Maybe it still works!
I didnt even notice that, lol...The name on the gauge... search it they are still in business
