Gauge Questions 200

posted by  someone claiming to be BigDan on  Tue Jul 1 08:42 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Sitting here with my '93 and a big mess of small OEM gauges - some w/ senders, some w/out - more than I have room to install and a mess of questions.

Already replaced the big port-side clock with a 52 mm tach and put the small clock in one of the two square knock-out panels to the right of the main cluster. The other square knock-out panel is occupied with a plaque I don't care to remove. This leaves me three gauge spots if I move the radio down to the hump and install my 3-gauge fascia plate.

1) Can I install both the oil temp (in Celsius) AND the oil pressure (5 bar) gauges? I understood (perhaps incorrectly?) that each (one or the other, but not both) plugs into the oil drain plug but would be happy to have that confirmed or corrected.

If you know, I'd sure like to hear!

2) Am also sitting on a volt meter and a water temp (C) gauge. Does anyone have an informed opinion as to which gauge I should sacrifice? I'm leaning toward using the volt gauge and both oil indicators (if they can both be installed, as per above) and just ditching the water temp gauge since the main cluster already has the "idiot" bar-gauge.

Opinions?

TIA!
