The other day I try to install the mec. temp. gauges, I think, the place between carb and distributor is wright( on the intake)? but the sender unit is to tall. So I try some other places too, like this 3-way vents, same story. Were to you connect temp gauges and is this gauges mechanical or electrical and what company products you recommend? Engine is stock. Thanks!
ben; I use an Autometer mechanical temp gauge, and it fits right in, on the intake, with no problems. I do have an Edelbrock Performer 289 manifold, and Holley 600 carb. The sensor that comes on the gauge works fine. Don't know why you would have a problem.
You need a fitting that will alllow the temp sensor to sit up higher. You can get a fitting at an autoparts store like NAPA.
The gauges should have came w/ all the fittings you needed. But like mentioned, you can buy them at parts stores.
Seems like problem is in "what ever" name gauges. The price was good. The guys who have installed Autometer, said that the Autometer temp sender is little bit shorter. Thanks!
