trans temp, oil pressure gauges, install questions....

88COBRA · 01-31-2001, 12:15 AM

OK,

I would like to add two gauges to the pillar in my GT.

I am looking at ATM-4357 Mechanical Tranny temp, and ATM-4327 Mechanical Oil Pressure.

OK, so how do I install the two gauges? Just tap into the tranny lines? What about the oil?

One more question, do these gauges light up at night?

I have Autometer gauges (vacuum, oil pressure, water temp and air/fuel) - all mechanical except for the air/fuel ratio.

For oil pressure all you do is remove the electronic sensor for the oil pressure and then screw on your oil pressure line with a brass fitting (and crush collar) that is supplied with the kit. The electronic sensor is located on the drivers side of the engine just below and to the left of the number #5 plug/header - it should screw off.

Make sure that when you attach your sending lines that you don't screw down the brass fittings over the crush collars too hard or else it will cut the line (if using nylon or plastic type tubing).

Good luck with the install and let me know if you have any more questions or if there is something that I didn't answer.

Forgot to add that they do light up - I have the phantom gauges (white face) and they look great at night, especially since my Stang is Oxford White.

install is similar with electrical, except your running wires instead of tubing. Forget about splicing into the tranny lines. The temp. probe screws right into the side of the case on an AOD. Remove one of the plugs, and install in place of the plug. Be professional, use high quality splice connectors, route the wires so they wont chafe or get caught in anything.

Splice the power feed for the lights off of anything with power when light switch is on...like dashlights, center console lights, etc..
