they come with their own sending units (except volt) that have to be used

Well if your getting 20% you must be an employee. I would check and see if those are special order or not. If they are special order you are not supposed to get a discount. Thats what swayed my decision to get the procomp ultra light.

i work for advance here on the eastcoast and i would personally order from keystone. employees get items at cost, which is most of the time better than the advance 20% off garbage.

plus keystone has a big fat catalog with all sorts of goodies and gauges


im picking up a 92 se tommorow, im excited!!

huh?
you mean if you order from keystone as an advanced auto employee you get it at advanced's cost? but if you order from advance's special order dept you only get 20% off?

eh, I'll find out the whole story hopefully eventually

hey, so i got my gauges and pod


i understand how they work, its just the oil pressure should i use a T adapter? will this still give accurate readings??

the water temp sensor where can i put it without taking the exsiting one out????????

i have to use the sensors that came with the gauges?? i cant just hook up the 1 wire????

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

you have to use the sending units that came with the gauges.
you will need to "T" them inot the existing setup, it will not affect the reading to any major degree

i undstand the T for oil pressure, but not for water temp, its a longer sensor and the t is not deep

but you also need to make sure the threading is the same as the cars
most gauges come in SAE rather than metric fittings

yeah advance can be a bit of a rip off. Regardless of what you order through keystone, you always get it at advance cost. Through the special order department or (pdq) its always marked up and even with the 20 percent discount, its never as cheap as keystone..

the threads are right, i got a new oil psi unit for mt car and its the same as what came with the gauge


pdq was good, i got all 3 gauges for $120 thats cheeper than i could find on the net anywhere

ok turns out i needed a oil pressure adapter, and i wont be able to use both the light and gauge o well


the coolent is a big problem

#1 the snesor i got will not go in its 1/8 NPT they dont make a adapter to make it m12 1.25 so idk wtf to do, i would like to put it in a diff place anyway so i can keep the stock gauge working

where could i put it?? isent there a extra place on the lower intake????

i monted my water temp sender in an adapter that requires u to cut a 2 inch section of rad hose out and replace it with the adapter.

mines kind of like this

i dont have the gauge hooked up all the way yet, the manual states the sender should be grounded, how did u guys do urs?
