And tap a place for the water temp in the aluminum crossover. __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

I have a few spares in the garage. And the oil pressure probably needs a sending unit too if it has 3 prongs. __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

MustangMatt96GT All Throttle with a Bottle 1996 Mustang GT 12.91@105.29 @ 5800 FT Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Lakewood, CO Posts: 7,483	then the oil is a mechanical gauge and u will have to run the tubing to the gauge and the oil pressure setup like in the pitures above. And the long skinny thing in your pic you just sent me is the temp gauge sending unit. thats what you need to tap into the aluminum part of the crossover to get a good temp gauge reading. __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.
