1. Drain antifreeze from cooled radiator into a container. Never drain
hot coolant! Save antifreeze to refill radiator after installation.
2. Drill a 7 ⁄
8
” dia. hole in the firewall and route temperature sensing bulb
through mounted panel first and then through firewall. Install a rubber
grommet provided in firewall hole to hold gauge tubing in place.
3. Using sealing compound on threads, insert and tighten mounting
nut in the 1 ⁄
2
” NPT port in engine. (Use 7 ⁄
8
” open-end wrench.) If port
opening is not 1 ⁄
2
” NPT, purchase proper adapter at an auto parts
store. Insert temperature sensing bulb into mounting nut and carefully
thread the sealing nut into the mounting nut. Be sure to hold the
mounting nut securely ( with
7 ⁄
8
” open-end wrench) while tightening
sealing nut ( with 5 ⁄
8
” open-end wrench). Check that tubing is free from
hazard of moving parts or hot engine components.
4. Refill radiator with coolant.
Final Procedure
1. Insert light bulb and socket assembly into back of gauge. Connect
red lighting wire to 12V power source in dash lighting circuit. Light
socket is grounded through gauge case. It may be necessary to
attach a separate ground wire between the case stud and good
engine ground if light does not operate.
2. Reconnect negative(-) battery cable. Re-program your clock and
radio if necessary.
