Said i'd post some pics on my guage install...
guages are 2-1/16" autometer shortsweep electrics.model #2634 for oil and #2635 for water.the empty cup is for an as yet to be installed pyro (mod # 2634).
the cups are dash mount,2-1/16",model # 2204,in black.
The oil pressure sensor was tapped into a tee...with another fitting to take the stock idiot light.i wanted to keep the dash light to give a bright visual alarm in case a line blew.you can also see the cam sensor that i plan to use for a tach signal to my trans controller.
since i no longer need the vac pump that was used for the thm-400,i pulled it and installed a cam sensor.
Ccattlet sugested i did the wrong thing by putting the water temp sensor in the left front head...reason being that is the spot for the water temp sensor for the glow plug controller.had a look at the tm's and he's right.gave myself a mental kick and went to find out why nothing changed when i pulled it.turns out that the wire was broken some time ago.didn't notice simply because i don't do much stop and go driving...i usually start cold,then go to my destination and restart some hours later...it did seem starnge that the glows would come on after only sitting for a couple hours,but i put it down to some 6.2 spooky behavior.oh well.
i have a fix in the works to reinstall the sensor and repair the wiring.post later.
