Re: Daverods project 66
you might be able to change the guts of the mechanical oil to an electric one in the dash itself there usually just held in the fasia with two screws
you just need to find an electric one that has about the same sweep and works on the electric sensor

Re: Daverods project 66
If your using a mechanical oil gauge you don't need a sensor. This would probably work for you.

Re: Daverods project 66
This is exactly what I would do. Just remove the electric sender from your engine and run the new copper line to your in dash gauge. Done.
The H2O temp gauge will likely require some re-wiring as will the ammeter. Just print out one of the wiring diagrams posted on here and compare it to what you have and change accordingly.. It might be easier to purchase the correct harnesses, but that depends on availability of funds. Quote:

Re: Daverods project 66
Thanks guys I think I have the oil pressure ( new mech line) and the water temp figured out( use one of the old wires). The alt. I have a good idea of what to do at least I have a good drawing.
Any ideas on where to get a new part that the water temp sender screws into? It's just below the housing for the thermostat. It's between the housing for the thermo and the block. I 'm not even sure what to call it. It has a water connection on the other side. And even less of an idea where to find one.

Re: Daverods project 66
![]() You can over-ride the auto-focus thing inside five feet, you know. I'm an expert with my digital now, but that goes without saying. ![]() Is he going to braze the pieces back together, or do they have some fancy cast iron rod now?

Re: Daverods project 66
it's really easy, you just have to heat the peice up before you can weld it. then you have to heat it a little as it cools so it wont crack the cast.

Re: Daverods project 66
it is possible to weld cast iron but it aint eazy
i saw sumtin new a while back it was some vibrating plate you could mount the piece of cast iron to to be welded on the vibrations while welding took out the heatstresses while welding after welding you needed to dunk the piece under in some heated sand to let it cool evenly .

Re: Daverods project 66
Parts fairy dropped off some headers for the 292. Now all I need is a clifford heated intake and a 390. Trying to decide what to do about my inner fender? Keep the stock hings and build somthing around the tire? Get rid of the hinges altogether? Use Porterbuilds stuff? Think I need a innerfennder? Sorry about the pic being sideways. Still trying out the new phone camera. T
