Default New Guage location.

I spent half the day installing new guages. I didnt want to go with the piller post look, everybody does that, so I was looking for a differnt place to put them.

Those are oil psi and water temp.. They are mechanical guages.. The only problem is that on the oil pressure, you need to add a T fitting so you can still use your electric oil sending unit that came with the car. If you disconnect the stock wires, it will read no oil psi and your "Check Guages" light will stay on..Same with the water temp.. For the oil, I went to home depo and bought a 2" pc of 1/2 black threaded pipe and a 1/2 T fitting.. You have to install it with the T facing up. Meaning that its longer than wider..If you do it the other way, you wont have clearance for the original O.P.S.U oil pressure sending unit. Its an easy job.. The guages were $12.99 each at V.I.P and the fittings were like less than $2.00 But if you do install the oil pressure guage.. DONT USE THE PLASTIC LINE that is supplied with the unit. Spend the extra $$ and get the copper 1/8 tubing with all the fittings..Its an extra $10..Oh ya, dont forget to use Teflon tape, or it will leak.
