I finally decided to get some real gauges... ones that actually tell me what's going on!
The 2 most important functuions I want to monitor are...
1... oil pressure... and 2...Engine coolant temp.
I chose Autometer Lunar electrics for a couple of reasons...
1... I don't feel like dealing with capilary tubing(Diff. temp will probably go that route though) and the adapters for the DIRECT READ senders are too large...
2... and I like the way they look.
Finding the locations...
Coolant temp...EDIT: This temp sender is now in a custom burp plug in the crossover tube.
I wanted to maintain the factory temp sender signal to the ECU because it is a multifunction deal (fans, factory guage, ECU tuning parameters, ETC...)
So I put the new sender in the (see edit) .. and left the factory one alone.
The plug to remove from block...
Where the plug came from and the new sender used to go...
