diesel9119: Indoor/Outdoor Temp Gauge

Here are the pics of the gauge. I ordered this one from JC Whitney and it looks goofy. There are better looking ones at Kmart.

If you put the time into it, you can do a better job of wiring the outside sensor to your left front fender. I found that the fender was the best place to get the right reading for the outside air. I tried placing it within the door sills and it gave me the wrong readings all the time.

I got one from Radio Shack and mounted it above my ash tray. I put the sensor near my intake to monitor intake temps. I find that mounted that low the indoor temp is usually a few degrees off. But it shows temp trends well.
