I'm building a SCCA Gen 1 car for improved touring racing and could use some help with the install on my guages.

I'm installing a water temp and oil temp gauges along with warning lights for the gauges. Below is a picture of the oil pressure sender - but I'm unsure what the small sender is to the left and what the hose is below (its capped off). The warning lights are set for 30psi oil pressure and 210-230 water temp. Can I use the factory senders / switches in the picture? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

 

Water temp.

 

Gotcha - so I can remove and replace with the autometer warning sender

Whats the hose below?

 

hose below is water in case you get thirsty

 

That hose on the bottom is for the heater core. But yes, you can just replace those senders with the autometer ones.

 

That works - thanks. I'm picking this up from a prev owner and a lot of stuff was chopped and spliced. I'm trying to unravel everything and get it back to working order.


Here is a shot of the old gauges

 

I don't think they are the same NPT thread. I was trying to install my autometer gauges there and they didn't fit exactly.

 

Going to Road Atlanta with NASA in March?

 

Yea i belive the thread is different but there was a tread that said you can get an adapter to make it work. Did you get your installed?

 

I assumed the REX had an NPT 1/8 - and the autometer something - not NPT.

I'm going to the driving school at @ Roebling in Feb / then Kersaw in March. SCCA IT Racing

 

Ok guys. The threads on the stock sensors are BSPT (British Striaght Pipe Thread) not NPT (National Pipe Tapered). There are only a few places that you can find adapters, and they are costly.

 

Oh damn.. lets see what I can find on Ebay. I'll post the results and install

 

I'm surprised Autometer doesn't send addapters with their gauges for this. My Equus gauges came with all the adapters I needed, including BSPT.

 

Haha, I love it!
Its all you need!
Id love to roll around town with nothing but a bigass tach in front of me...sole exception be them photo radar *****! haha

 

Part # 7011550 available thru Napa Auto parts. $12.49 online.

 

I might order 1 for mine since the stock 1 aint working. I need to swap the oil pressure also.
