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:

Any Help would be Great. Please feel free to email me at
