Just got some Autometer gauges(water temp and oil pressure) and I got a few questions.
First of all I'd like to say how happy I am that I bought all my important gauges from GReddy. You can't even compare the quality.
Anyway, where did you guys install the sendor for your water temp gauge? T-ed out a spot in your line to the TB? And for the oil pressure sensor (which is HUGE ), it says that it's supposed to be grounded from screwing it into the engine. But theres no way I'm letting that think hang off of the back of my block, I'm gunna do something like Edyne had. So how do I run a ground wire to it? Just get a ring terminal around the threaded part that screws in?
Thanks
Matt

I have my oil pressure gauge on a tee that connects to the engine via a stainless line... it seems to be working fine, i'ev never actually tested to see if there's a good ground between the block and the fitting, but since it's all aluminum fittings and stainless line i assume the ground is okay..
as for the coolant, you can take out the factory coolant sensor in the head -- it's only for the in-car gauge, and replace it with the autometer sensor; your normal gauge won't work but the ecu's sensor is separate so there no problems there. Otherwise i would just tee it somewhere
