It's an Autometer Electrical unit. My question is where did you guys install the sending unit and what parts are needed?

upper radiator neck in the cylinder head.

 

just get a t-fitting from a local plumbing store, and cut out a section from your rad hose, then put the t fitting in there, and screw the copper wire from the water temp gauge into it, then use a couple of clamps and some silicon tape and BAM, you're done, make sure it doesn't leak

 

any pictures and parts that are required?

I'm interested to see the pics as well. This is one of the gauges I will be installing in my Hybrid

Thanks!

um, I never added this gauge before, but wouldn't this give you an inaccurate reading? You would only have an accurate reading if the thermostat was open... Might want to mount it somewhere where it will ALWAYS give a correct reading.

It would just be like the temp. needle on most clusters. After 2-3 minutes the needle moves up on the temp. gauge.

 

Come on guys, all this time and we still don't have a picture? Give us wannabe-techs here a chance.

 

you have to tell us the year of your cylinder head and I'll tell you where to install it, some years like 94/95 gsr has an ideal spot for the sending unit while ITRs and B16a coolant neck really suck.

The easiest way to install, is to tee off one of the 3/8" coolant hoses and clamp on the sender unit onto one end of the hose.
