Ok now I realize i have probibly lost it but i got this nice little gauge cluster that has oil pressure, water temp, and i think it's a volt. But i have not got the slightest clue of where to hook them up to. I was thinking of putting the water temp somewhere in the radiator(AZ is HoT!!) but i dont know where. .. On a good note, after i put my new radio in i got a perfect amount of space left to put the gauges [8D]

 

One way you could hook up the water temp and oil pressure gauges is to use the sender connections for the factory hook ups. Of course if you do, then you will lose the function of the dash gauges these senders power. Try doing a search on gauge hook ups, and there are several discussions that cover gauge hook up and mounting

 

Truthfully I can't find -0- and i have googled yahoo'd im freakin sick of not being able to find something i know is simple [:@]. the oil gauge is not a electric. maybe ill just drill a hole and glue it in /

 

The sensor for the oil pressure is screwed into the front of the engine block about in the center of the engine.

Water temp not sure is it electrical?

Volts you should be able to hook up to the battery or Alt.

 

hey ok so do I just tee off of that oil plug,thats non electric right? um as for the temp gauge it is a non electric. it has a sensor thing of its own to put into somewhere. I thought about plugging it into the radiator.

 

The oil pressure sensor is electronic but if you find a T then you can run a mechanical one. The sensor has oil going to it.

Going into the Radiator might be hard. The only place I can think of that you might be able to get the sensor in with some kind of adapter would be in the Drain in the back of the engine.

 

ow you mean that hose that just kind of hands there . I know im not the first to try and do something like this. Well I just spend ALL day stuck at the junk yard looking at an 850 taken apart so i think im ready to go screw mine up . ha ha Hay thanks alot! Im new to this whole Brick modding thing. But im diggin it so far

 

I mean if you look at the back of the engine you will see a Nipple sticking out like between cylinder 1 and 2.
That is the coolant drain for the block.
That might work using that.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Hey cool, it's flippin cold here tonight. But im itching to go work on the ol brick. Earlier i was trying to find a vacuum leak........... using carb cleaner [8D]well lets just say im am damn lucky i seen a 2-liter of coke in my passenger floor.
