Mounting
These gauges can be mounted in a 2 1 ⁄
16
" dia. hole or in a standard
aftermarket street rod panel. Fasten with brackets supplied as shown.
(Hookup wire is required.) To assure proper functioning of this instru-
ment, please read instructions thoroughly before installing.
NOTe: Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their
pressure and temperature senders for engine control func-
tions. Before removing the original sender, we recommend
that you contact your automotive dealer to be sure no
critical functions will be disrupted. With pressure gauges
it is beneficial to add a T-fitting to install your new gauge
and to keep the warning light operational. This allows you
to monitor the pressure and still have a warning light to
indicate emergency conditions.
