1
The manufacturer produces a full line of gauges
with many different styles.
1-1/2" Gauges
2” Gauges
2-5/8" Gauges
(See page 2 for hole sizes.)
MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED ENGINES
3. It is recommended that the battery ground
cable be disconnected before any electrical
work is performed, especially when installing
Ammeters or Voltmeters.
4. Route all wiring and gauge tubing away from
linkages, high heat or moving parts.
5. Never smoke while working on your vehicle
and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
It should be rated for gas/chemical/electrical
fires.
6. Never lay tools on top of the battery or wear
jewelry during .electrical work to avoid severe
electrical shorts.
1. Read the entire instructions for your gauge
before proceeding.
2. Be sure the gauge is suitable for your vehicle:
• Does the gauge’s range cover the vehicle’s
operating range?
• Will the tubing of the mechanical gauges
reach from the engine connection point to the
gauge (temperature gauges cannot be length-
ened)?
• Is the vehicle’s electrical system 12 volt and
negatively grounded?

GAUGE MOUNTING
Gauges allow you to monitor the condition of your
vehicle and tell how well it is performing. If there
are any problems, you can detect them immedi-
ately before they become severe. Warning lights
only tell you when the problem already requires
immediate attention. You will find that the addi-
tion of these gauges will add to your peace of
mind and driving comfort.
Many newer vehicles employ microprocessors
that control most of the engine and electrical func-
tions. Microprocessors are very sensitive electri-
cal components. Before installing any aftermar-
ket equipment consult the vehicle’s manufacturer
or shop manual to make certain that no damage
will result.
Some of these newer vehicles use electric cool-
ing fans or microprocessor engine controls that
depend on readings from the original equipment
sending units for correct operation. If your vehicle
is one of these you CANNOT replace the
sender(s) with any other. You can add an addi-
tional oil pressure sender with a “Tee Adapter Kit,”
but the only possible way to install a non OEM
water temperature sender is to install the new
sender in a different location, retaining the OEM
unit in its original location. Check with the vehicle’s
manufacturer or dealer to see if this is possible.
All gauges can be mounted into a surface of your
choice or into a panel. Single, dual & triple gauge
mounting panels are produced for all size gauges.
Some panels are in black or chrome finishes. A
fully chromed mounting cup is available for the
2-5/8" gauges.
1. Choose a location to mount the gauge where
it will be viewable from a normal driving posi-
tion (fuel pressure gauges should never be
mounted within the interior of the vehicle).
2. If you are using a mounting panel, mount it at
the chosen location with the screws provided.
If you are creating a hole, use the following sizes:
Gauge Style Hole Size
1-1/2" 1-5/8" (41 mm)
2" 2-1/16" (53 mm)
2-5/8" 2-5/8" (67 mm)
