I just received all my Auto Meter Nexus gauges.
The main two I'm concerned with are the oil pres and water temp gauge. I'm not sure where to mount or install the sensors at.
Anyone have any advice or pics to show?
Will I still be able to get signals to my factory gauge cluster as well?

Thanks,

Jim

 

Oil pressure: Plug above oil filter can be removed, it's for oil prerssure in some car apps I think, but most use the port for hooking up a manual gauge. Water temp, look on the passemger side cylinder head towards the firewall, you will see a plug that uses an allen wrench to remove (forgot what size...pretty big and metric). I don't know what size the autometer sensors are so you might have to make a trip or two to the parts store, but these are the locations you could use.

 

I'm glad someone else asked this, I was curious as well

 

The fitting on the above the oil filter might have a plug in it, or it might need to be drilled and tapped, sorry I can't find a good pic but you will be able to see what I'm talking about. And the fitting on the head is used on the front of the drivers side head for the factory temp sensor......thats the same thing your looking for on the pass side head, just at the rear instead:

 

Cool thanks a lot. I really hope the oil pres sensor can be installed without drilling into the oil filter housing location.
I will not be doing that.
