Tech Help with Gauges

I am in process of looking at VDO electric gauges in my 02.I plan on putting oil temp,oil pressure and volt. What is the correct ohm range and adapter and fittings I need. Thanks in advance.

to keep the idiot light on the dash. Someone here should have the exact part number of the senders and guages you need. It's been several years since I did some VDOs. You may need to ask tomorrow AM as more East coasters seem to be on then.

You may hear different opinions on where to take the oil temp reading. I used a drain plug sender on mine with no problems. Oral, Rectal, Axial- you'll get some usable number.

For the Voltmeter, make sure you use a fair size wire(Not battery cable, but not piano wire either) to hook it into the charging circuit. You mainly want to know when the system is not charging. Should show 12 or slightly less when running off of just the battery, then show 13 to 14 when the alternator and voltage regulator kick in.

I have been looking into gauges lately. The following are part numbers for "vision series" gauges.

oil pressure gauge 350-108

oil temperature gauge 310-106

oil press sender 360-023

oil press adaptor 240-043 angle adaptor to allow more room. Needed?

oil temp sender 323-066
