Got my gauges, now I need help hooking them up!!! Options

[Tru_Pol]

Ok so I got a water temp, oil pressure, and volt gauges with white face glow and the volt gauge I dont have a problem with.

The Water temp gauge says to remove my old temp on the engine and attach this one. Thats not a problem becouse my old gauge is broke but where would I find this peice to remove on my engine?

The Oil pressure gauge does not tell me where to attach it. Just shows a pic of the engine block...Is there a place to attach this or what do I have to do????


HELP!!!! I want to put these on today (after I ship a part to mofo04)

I'm not sure if the ECU uses the factory oil pressure sending unit, or if it's simply there to power the idiot light in the dash when your oil pressure is dangerously low. If it's the second of those options, then you could replace the stock sending unit with the one for your gauge. If you do this, make sure that you use a BSPT fitting...the block takes a BSPT fitting and I think most sending units are NPT.

Otherwise, take a look at this.

So I was able to get my water temp gauge in and looks good, and works! Now I need to know where I hook the Oil Pressure gauge up to on the engine. Does anyone know, and can you kind of discribe it to me!

there's a plug (stock sending unit) between your header and the alternator, you can spot it with a flashlight. it's on the head.

hope that helps
