B. MECHANICAL OIL PRESSURE
NOTE: Before installation, use shop cloths and drip pans to protect interior
from potential vehicle leaks.
1. Determine routing for nylon tubing. Use an existing firewall grommet, or drill
a 3/8” (9.53 mm) diameter hole through firewall to accommodate nylon tub-
ing. Install a rubber grommet (purchased separately) in hole, use shrink
tubing to protect nylon tubing from chaffing or other damage.
NOTE: Some gauges require a tubing kit (purchased separately) for instal-
lation.
2. Connect nylon tubing to gauge using compression sleeve and compression
nut. Tighten compression nut until tubing is secure.
3. Route nylon tubing through grommet in firewall.
4. Locate correct oil pressure port on engine and, if required, install proper
adapter from gauge kit.
NOTE: Adapters for most Domestic/Asian vehicles included (excludes 6500
Series gauges). Additional adapters purchased separately.
5. Connect nylon tubing to pressure port adapter using tube connector, com-
pression sleeve and compression nut. Tighten compression nut until tubing
is secure.
6. Secure tubing along its route to prevent damage from sharp edges, moving
parts or hot engine components.
7. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable. Start and run engine for approxi-
mately 30 seconds. Turn off engine and check gauge installation for leaks.
Tighten or reseal joints as needed and retest.

C. MECHANICAL TEMPERATURE
1. Determine routing for temperature sensor. Use an existing firewall grom-
met, or drill a 7/8” (22.23 mm) hole through firewall to accommodate capil-
lary tube with sensor. Install a rubber grommet (purchased separately), in
hole to protect capillary tube from chaffing or other damage.
CAUTION: The capillary tube is a sealed, pressurized tube that is filled with
Ether gas. NEVER CUT THE TUBE OR ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IT FROM
THE GAUGE PORT.
2. Route capillary tube through grommet in firewall.
3. Remove the vehicle's existing temperature sending unit. Install the proper
size adapter (an adapter must be used to properly seat temperature
sender; see section 1, item 6) in sender hole and tighten securely. Insert
temperature sensor in adapter and tighten sensor nut securely. DO NOT
ROTATE SENSOR OR CAPILLARY TUBE WHILE TIGHTENING NUT OR
CAPILLARY TUBE MAY BE DAMAGED.
NOTE: Adapters for most Domestic/Asian vehicles included (excludes 6500
Series gauges). Additional adapters purchased separately.
4. Secure capillary tube along its route to prevent damage from sharp edges,
moving parts or hot engine components. DO NOT CRIMP, KINK OR MAKE
SHARP BENDS IN THE CAPILLARY TUBE.
5. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable. Start and run engine and check
gauge installation for leaks. Tighten or reseal joints as needed and retest.
