I installed my water temp gauge a few weeks ago. I used the 3/4" adapter from Auto Meter. I have the Marshal Gauges. I like the fact they have no "words" on them. However east is labeled in PSI/VAC (Boost), PSI (Oil Pressure), and F° (Water Temp). Plus I installed them so I know which is which. MobileMe Gallery
So, did you get it installed? Pics please of both the gauge and the adapter with the sending unit. Did you install the adapter where Nathan did, right in front and replacing the bleeder? I am with you on the 'words', gauges must be labeled, even if you already know what they are! At least for my car!
Still waiting for the adapter to arrive and yes I will be using the same location. I'll get the pictures up when complete.
Update: Ordered the part from JCSspeed.com, been 10 days, 6 emails, PayPal dispute started and FB posts on their page...........nuthing :mad5: and they are located in PA. Avoid them like the plague! Customer service non-exsistant. The part was 25, the CS hot-link was 60, did I really save anything? Update to update: Got a link from MM on adapter and already have it on the way to me. Thanks Chuck! Pictures to follow soon......I hope
This is the adapter I got from 42 Draft Designs. They make stuff for V-dubs but I the recommendation of MM the adapter is a nice fit. OD 1.277 Adapter and sending unit installed. Water Temp and AFR gauge installed.
Mr. Jim When you installed the sender adapter in the radiator hose were you concerned about the small amount of antifreeze you lost when you disconnected the pipes. I just installed the craven speed hotline and a Marshal Temperature Gauge in my 2006 S and I was just wondering if it might have introduced some air into the system. If I did, since I now do not have a bleed screw how do I get any air out of the system. Thanks
