Got my new Gauges.. Now What

gbeals · 05-04-2005, 08:42 PM

Ok I picked up a nice 3 pod set (water, volts oil) (Havent opened them yet, so havent gone through the directions yet)

Any thing I should know about when hooking this all up? Tips?

Now that I can see what my readings are - what should my readings be at for my 351W? Water Temp? Volts? Oil Press?

Thanks.

Did some research and just looking to see if I am accurate.

Water temp should be - 190 or so

Volts - 13.5 - 14

Oil Pres - 75-80 @ startup & 55-60 during normal use

Are these number accurate? Just looking to see if I have a good baseline to start with.

That oil pressure seems pretty high...

I'd double check your manual for that one, 30 - 50 seems like a better range.
