Sunpro triple gauge installation help

So I have a triple gauge set up (temp/volts/oil psi) and I'm not sure where to hook up the temp probe or oil psi. I have an inline 6 and I need some help. Thanks!

 

are they electric? If so they should have sending units that came with them or are extra. Oil pressure will go to where the current oil pressure light hooks up, there may be a "T" fitting there. If not and you want the warning light to work you will need to get one. Same thing for the water temp. The volts should go to the accessory wire on the fuse block, don't want it drawing power when the car is turned off. Sorry I don't have any pics.

 

It's a mechanical set up

 

With the mechanical set up, you should have some fittings and some tubing for the oil pressure, a coiled up tube with probe on the water temp, and maybe wires on the volts.

You will have to find a hole or drill a couple the tubing and temp probe will fit through, and you will need some grommets to keep them from chaffing. The tubing for the oil pressure should go down by your steering box. There is a pressure switch sticking out of the side of the engine. You will need to get a "T" fitting that will take the switch and the new fitting.

As for the Water Temp. not sure. I went out and looked at my parts car and couldn't see enough in the dark to figure that one out.

The Volts will still need a wire from the fuse block and a good ground.

Hope that helps

 

Water temp is located at the back of the head on a 6 cyl. On the driver's side.

 

yup. the fittings int he kit will work with your block, i have them on mine. back of head at angle drivers side for temp, and lower side of block for oil. i didnt tee off for the switch, just run the gauge in my car but a t is good if you want to run the idiot light.

i fed my sensors though around where the steering column comes through the firewall.

i bought a 3 pack but just used oil and temp. mounted mine in the ashtray cubby. took some fabrication but i like it there.

used the illumination wire off the radio subharness for the lights in the gauges so they will actually dim with the dash lights, etc.

 

Thanks for the info! If I have some time in between working and golf I'll try to get them in this weekend

 

Just read your gauge instructions carefully for the oil pressure fittings. It's important to get a good seal. And don't use the plastic tubing for the oil pressure gauge. Go to advanced and buy some copper tubing. You'll thank me later.
