Installed Autometer Autogage series 1.5" oil pressure & temp gauges. They fit pretty snug in the pod. What you can't see is the red bulbs and fully sleeved SXL 18awg harness.
Power is from one of the two ignition switched power sources under the front cowl. Ground runs from the main 6mm stud on the frame under the seat.
I used green temp blue oil pressure orange power and black ground. Fully sleeved to just short of the ring terminals with 3:1 shrink on the rings for strain releif and 2:1 to cover the sleeve ends.
The temp sender is in the thermostat water neck boss. Drilled & tapped to 1/8 NPT.
I wanted an "it's good" or
oil pressure indicator. Pressure sender is 244-33ohm 0-40psi. The gauge is 0-100 but the 40psi sender puts the 8-10psi hot idle pressure in the good enough zone. Yes the pressure sender is directly on the engine. If a 383 chrysler with a fairly radical cam can't rattle the guts out of one of these canister senders I doubt this engine will.
With the 0-40PSI sender the 0-100psi gauge readings are easy to translate. 100=40, [email protected] [email protected], [email protected], & 0=. The green zone is from 20-80 and it stays there when I'm driving and just below the 20psi mark at hot idle.
Replacement Banjo Bolt drilled and tapped for 1/8 NPT for the oil pressure sender.
