ivorton74 · 05-09-2014, 07:54 PM

Duh...wow can't believe I missed that the fitting in the back of the head, for the temp gauge, I got the temp sending unit with my gauges, but the fittings they got don't work, I seen some adapter fittings that should work, I also seen where some guys just use a different sending unit...wow my dumb moment was right there

dman1982 · 05-11-2014, 06:16 PM

When my gauges go in this is what they'll look like

dman1982 · 05-12-2014, 06:17 PM

Anything on the sending unit/fitting?

ivorton74 · 05-12-2014, 06:48 PM

no tach?

dman1982 · 05-12-2014, 06:52 PM

Someday funds don't allow it at the moment

dman1982 · 05-12-2014, 09:18 PM

well just ordered the fitting for the temp gauge, 20 bucks shipped...would have been cheaper but i want it sooner than later!!!

NastyBuzzard · 05-15-2014, 07:59 AM
