77198, Gauge install question
Posted by scothern, Jul-07-04 04:21 AM
Okay Please don't flame me.

My girlfriend has a set of gauges that she got at walmart awhile back. they are cheap as poop I know but better then the nothing that I can afford right now. I would like to install these in the mean time, mainly for eye candy. Can you guys tell me where they should get hooked up? I don't have a manual. Was thinking baout doing it this weekend.

Theres a Voltage gauge, an oil preasure gauge(mechanical) and a temp gauge. I wont use the temp obviously. Can you guys provide me some insight or a link to place that would have the install locations? Thanks in advance.

for the voltage, tie into your cig lighter or acc wire, ground the other one. as for the oil press gauge, there should be a writeup somewhere

I'm assuming I just use the fittings instead of the sending unit as my gauge is mechanical not electrical?
