engine and drivetrain Installing water temp gauge

[dtharp113]

Making plans to install an oil pressure and a water temp gauge this weekend. Have the sending units for both and I think I see where the oil pressure sending unit bolts in (atop the engine block, toward the firewall?).

Where does the water temp install? I'm kinda visual so if there are some pics out there, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dennis

YES - oil is next to the dizzy, back by the firewall.

Water is on the water neck, above the alternator, right next to the fuel pump, where the two hoses come out of the block right by the fan. There's only one (brown i think) wire going to it.

HTH,

Great -- 'preciate the tip. Is there anything (weird or unusual) that I should be prepared for? Imagine that it would be a fairly simple matter to route the wiring through the firewall and into the console area.

i JUST put a water temp guage on like 2 days ago. Couldnt be easier. Although the first guage i bought didnt have the right fitting for the temp sensor. So i tried a sunpro one that came with metric adapters and the right one was in the box.
