70.
Install one 1 ⁄ 8 ” NPT female by
1 ⁄ 8 ” compression 90° fitting onto the
threaded end of the tee. Sparingly
apply pipe sealant tape or paste on
the male pipe threads, and adjust the
90° fitting to point back toward the
firewall, as shown in Figure 7. Do not
allow any sealant to cover the small
hole in the fitting. Do not over-tighten
the plastic fitting.
71.
Install one end of the
1 ⁄ 8 ”-diameter plastic tube provided
into the compression fitting on
the plastic tee or the fitting on
the compressor discharge elbow
(PowerPacks only) and tighten the
nut. Be sure the plastic tube cannot
be pulled out of the ferrule, but do
not over-tighten the nut.
72.
Route the free end of the tube
up and along the top of the firewall
toward the brake master cylinder
assembly. Use caution to avoid kinks
in the line. Tie the tube to existing
wires and hoses with the cable
ties provided. Follow the routing of
the pyrometer 4-pin gauge harness
through the firewall.
73.
Route the plastic tube to the
gauge panel and cut the tube to
the proper length. Install the gauge
through the panel or console using
the U-clamp and two hex nuts
provided with the gauge.
74.
Install the 90° elbow fitting onto
the connection at the back of the
gauge. Use Teflon thread sealer on
the male threads of the gauge nipple.
Do not allow any sealant to cover the
pin-sized hole in the end of the gauge
nipple.
75.
Insert the tube into the nut and
ferrule on the adapter fitting at the
gauge, then tighten the nut against
the tube and ferrule. Do not over-
tighten.
76.
Connect the 4-pin connector
of each gauge into the back of its
corresponding gauge.
A. Crimp the remaining BLACK and
RED wires from each 4-pin connector
gauge harness to the butt connectors
as shown in Figure 8.
B. Strip one end of the RED wire and
crimp it to the butt connector contain-
ing the RED wires from step ‘A’.
C. Strip one end of the BLACK wire
and crimp it to the butt connector
containing the BLACK wires from step
‘A’.
D. Route the RED wire to the fuse
box. Locate the appropriate fuse for
instrument lighting in the owner’s
manual. Cut the RED wire as required
and strip the end. Crimp the push on
connector to the RED wire and con-
nect to the fuse as shown in Figure
8. Alternatively, locate power wire to
dimmer switch and install T-tap. Cut
the RED wire as required and strip the
end. Crimp the push on T-tap connec-
tor to the RED wire and connect to
T-tap on dimmer power wire.
E. Locate a metal surface that will
serve as an acceptable chassis
ground. Cut the BLACK wire to a suffi-
cient length that will allow it to reach
the chassis ground and strip the end
Crimp the ring terminal to the Black
wire ash shown in Figure 8.
F. Drill a 1/8” hole, if required, to
attach the ring terminal to the chassis
ground.
Caution: If drilling, check the back-
side to make sure there are no
components that may be damaged
by drilling.
G. Use the supplied self-tapping screw
to secure the ring terminal to the
chassis ground.
