Trex72 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 just wondering what kind to get and how to hook it up ? Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've used nothing but Autometer(NOT Autoguage)for 20+ years.Get a mechanical guage and then "T" it so your factory guage or idiot light still works.USe -4 AN or copper line at the minimum.Don't even think about the plastic line.

banzai510(hainz) Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 remember the block is a 1/8 BPT threads autometer makes a adpater the is 1/8BPT to that standart 1/8 NPT. fitting then you can T off a Ztrain said. Hes right plastic lines suck even though I use the Autometer branks plactic lines but a metal or a braided line is best. Also a bigger line so the gause is more responsive. I had picture but I cant post photos anymore Quote Link to comment
mattykrab Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Oh thats interestig to hear. I was also thinking abou. Installing one but the plastic tubes freaked me out. Last thing I want to do is clean up oil that exploded up under my dashboard! Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Last thing I want to do is clean up oil that exploded up under my dashboard! :angry: the last thing would be: getting towed home and replacing the blown motor from its failure Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I ordered digital gauges from prosport. Got an oil pressure gauge that came with the sender for about $45. Ordered a metric adapter kit for an extra $10. Should be receiving it tomorrow Quote Link to comment
