18654, Hooking Up Electrical Water & Oil Temperature Gauges. (HOW?) Posted by Chowmane99, Mar-28-02 02:40 AM
Hi, I just bought 3 Indiglo Gauges (Light up Blue - Looks Awesome). They are all Electric Gauges.
1)Volt Gauge 2)Water Temperature Gauge 3)Oil Temperature Gauge
Installing these gauges look simple enought. Just waiting for my Triple Gauge Pillar from Lo-Tek...As soon as they get 20 people to order they will make it. Talk to Dennis at (919) 479-0749 if you want to order one. Their still taking orders. http://www.gaugepods.com
Ok (SORRY) back to the Real Question. Both the Water and Oil Gauges has a temperature sensor probe that needs to be installed. It's threaded to be screwed on. Does this mean I have to Drill a hole into my Oil Pan and Radiator to install these gauges? (Someone said I can install the Water Temperature on the Thermostat Housing...There should be some plugs there. Someone else stated to tap into the factory Temp Sensor and don't use the one that came with the Indiglo Gauge and another said the exact opposite. As far as the Oil Temperature Sensor. Someone stated that I could get a Drain Oil Plug adaptor that I could screw the Temperature sensor to and then screw it onto the oil pan. Is any of this INFO Correct???
Does anybody know where these temperature sensor go. I went to www.autometer.com and looked at their installation Guide for the Electric Water & Oil Gauges. Their they also show the temperature sensor but never say where it goes. Here's the site I looked at: http://www.autometer.com/hp/index.html
Any Help would be Great. Please feel free to email me at chowmane99@h...
