atm-4332- water temp, 120*-240*
atm-4327- oil press, 0-100 psi
atm-4347- oil temp, 100*-250*
.... these are the part numbers from summit

Do any of the gauges have sending units? or do you have to run plastic hose to the back of each gauge?
I looked at the gauges on-line, but it looks like they are all mechanical.

the only gauge that really had anything is the oil pressure gauge. it came with either a sending unit or pressure regulator. i cant tell what the hell it is. they are all mechanical, so i guess i have to run plastic hose to the back of the gauges?

I am kinda suprised nobody has answered you questioned. First of all you water temp is a mechanical gauges this why you have a tube that came with it, your other 2 gauges are electric gauges. Electric gauges do not require any kind of tubing, they do requre a piece of 14-18 gauge wire running from the sender to the back of the gauge, a 12 volt ignition source and a ground. This will make the gauge part work but not light up. As for the water temp send it back and get an electric gauge, part # atm-4337.
