CAUTION FOR ALL GAUGE INSTALLATION (AMMETERS EXCLUDED)
As a safety precaution, the +12V wire attached to the positive I (+) terminal of the gauge should be fused before connecting to the positive (+)
output side of the ignition switch. We recommend using a 3 Amp, automotive type fuse inline between the power supply source and the I (+)
terminal on the gauge.
NOTE: Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their pressure and temperature senders for engine control functions. Before removing the
original sender, we recommend that you contact your automotive dealer to be sure no critical functions will be disrupted. With pressure gauges it
is beneficial to add a T-fitting to install your new gauge and to keep the warning light operational. This allows you to monitor the pressure and still
have a warning light to indicate emergency conditions.
NOTE:: Disconnect negative (-) battery cable before installation.
CAUTION: Do not touch ignition wire to the sender (S) terminal on back of gauge or the sender may be damaged.

1. Install temperature sender.
A. Water Temp: Install temperature sender (included). Purchase of additional fittings such as metric or hose adapters may be
required.
B. Oil & Trans. Temp: Hole may have to be drilled and adapter nut (included) welded or brazed in pan. Be sure there is
adequate internal clearance for nut and sender. Sender should automatically be grounded when installed. If not, proper
ground connections should be made. May use #2260 weld on bung on steel pans (not included).
C. Cylinder Head Temp: Head must be drilled and tapped for 1 ⁄
8
" NPT hole. Sender should be grounded automatically when
installed. If not, proper ground connections should be made. Be sure not to drill all the way through.
D. Diff. Temp: Install temperature sender in 1 ⁄
8
" NPT sender port on cover if available. If cover does not have a port,
remove cover and drill and tap a 1 ⁄
8
" NPT hole or, drill and weld, or braze, adapter nut (included) in cover. Proper ground
connections should be made by running ground wire from bolt in cover to chassis, being sure to leave enough slack in wire
for suspension travel.
2. Route 18-gage wire through firewall. If a new hole is drilled in the firewall a grommet is recommended. Connect one end to
terminal post on temperature sender, and opposite end to sender (S) terminal on back of gauge.
3. Route 18-gage wire from center terminal GND (-) on back of gauge to good ground near sender.
4. Connect wire from ignition switch to ignition ( I ) terminal on back of gauge.
5. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable.

1. Install sender into pressure port of appropriate type. If unit is to be installed on a high vibration application such as a full
race engine or engine capable of high RPM, it is strongly recommended that the sender be remote mounted to either
the fenderwell or firewall, to insulate from vibration. Failure to remote-locate pressure senders on such an application
could result in gauge failure and potential damage to vehicle and/or operator injury. Braided stainless steel lines are sold
separately by Auto Meter, and can be used to accomplish this. Sender features 1 ⁄ 8 " NPT male fitting and comes with 1 ⁄ 4 " NPT
adapter. Sender should automatically be grounded when installed. If not, or if remote relocation of sender is required, a ground
connection to sender “body” may need to be made.
2. Route 18-gage wire through firewall. If a new hole is drilled in the firewall a grommet is recommended. Connect one end to
terminal post on pressure sender, and opposite end to sender (S) terminal on back of gauge.
3. Connect wire from center terminal GND (-) on back of gauge to good engine ground near sender.
4. Connect wire from ignition switch to ignition ( I ) terminal on back of gauge.
5. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable.
