Hi everyone, I did some searching on here for a few hours and still haven't come up with the info I'm looking for.
I just got a mechanical water temp. gauge and boost gauge. I read about the boost gauge and that's not problem. But where to screw in the probe for the temp. gauge is what I can't find out. I saw a lot of people suggesting the crossover pipe, but I don't know if they were referring to an electrical gauge or not. Also it was said that mounting it in the crossover pipe disabled a bleeder for the coolant system, which I don't want to do.
If anyone knows where to mount the probe for the water temp. gauge, I'd appreciate it. Also if I'll need any specific fittings or anything to mount it. It's the Autometer Ultra-Lite 120 to 240 degree mechanical water temp. gauge if that helps. At the end of the probe itself, there is a blue anodized fitting screwing into a larger red anodized fitting. I don't know if they're color coded according to size or what. Measuring with a ruler to get a ball park size, it's about 3/4" diameter where the threads are and about 7/8" where the hex part is.
Last question. I'm going to use an add-a-circuit with a 10 amp fuse into the #37 fuse for the wiring of the boost gauge. Would it be possible to hook up both the boost and water temp. gauge to the same add-a-circuit? How would I do that?
Thanks,
Blaise
