I was gonna order 2 autometer gauges from egauges.com
One oil pressure and a water temp gauge, they both come with the sender but I was wonder what type of adapters I would need for them to work in my car.

 

Oil filter pedestal. Available from all of the vendors. If Speed Machine still makes theirs, then it comes ready to go with 1/8" NPT ports.

 

the ms I have uses the temp guage in the coolant filter neck, so should I mount the sender in the rear rotor housing? I would obviously need a adapter, does anyone know the size of the threads?

 

for the oil use the oil pedistal Aaron mentioned.

 

I went to the smp site and purchased it after aaron posted
I am just wondering what size adapter I would need for the temp sender from a autometer nv temp gauge to fit in the sender spot on the rear rotor housing.

 

Oh, water temp.

You can drill and tap the water pump housing that it just beside the CAS. There's a flat spot that's a perfect area with lots of room and you don't even have to drain the cooling system much to do so. Most AutoMeter gauges use 1/8" NPT threads on the senders.

 

thanks for the info

I would have gone with the autometers you have but cash is a little harder to come by at the moment. Again thanks for the help.

 

Yeah, I would kill for that gauge setup you have, Aaron. But I need money to get my engine running before I can spend that much on gauges.

 

Well I didn't say you had to buy AutoMeter Nexus gauges. But most electrical AutoMeter (and other) gauges come with 1/8" NPT senders so it's probably safe to say that almost any gauge you buy will fit 1/8" NPT.

In general I don't recommend that you get any mechanical gauge. The electrical gauges are only slightly more expensivce and MUCH less of a pain in the *** to install. Also you don't have to plumb hot pressurized fluids into the cabin.

 

Yeah, I cringe at the thought of hot oil and coolant entering my cabin.
