Re: temp gauge in thermostat housing?

I suppose... But wouldn't you get weird readings until the thermostat opened?

Re: temp gauge in thermostat housing?

i'd bet you could go to a local plumbing supply and get something like that for 25% of what moon charges and you wouldnt have to spend another $10 to have it shipped either

A standard oil pressure gauge can be adapted pretty easily with a couple fittings to do that...

Re: temp gauge in thermostat housing?

I've considered mounting a couple guages under the hood, maybe something off the core support, wouldn't be hard to do, but I have since said.... what's the point. Seems more of a bling thing than anything.

Re: temp gauge in thermostat housing?

I was at the street rod nationals in York, PA yesterday and you would be surprised how many of them had gauges on the engines and under the hoods.
