Mechanical oil pressure gauge installation. 1.)Remove old pressure sender.

It is located down by the oil filter and has 1 wire on a push on screw connector. 2.)Install ¼” pipe tee fitting with a short ¼” nipple on the place where you removed the oil pressure sender. 3.)Install the original oil pressure sender back in one of the tee ports. 4.)Install the gauge line restrictor in the remaining port of the tee. 5.)Connect the flex tubing or hydraulic hose to the gauge restrictor. Be sure to route the tubing or hose away from the exhaust manifolds.

Be sure to either use hydraulic hose or oil and heat resistant flex tubing for the pressure line. Do not use copper tubing for the connection to the gauge restrictor or engine. Over a period of time, the vibration will work harden the tubing and cause it to crack and fail. 6.)If the gauge is going to mount under the hood, connect it to the end of the hose or flex tubing. Use some Tie-wraps to secure the gauge and its plumbing to the wiring harness on the driver’s side inner fender. 7.)If the gauge is going to mount in the passenger compartment you get to find a place to run the tubing through the firewall.

I suggest that you pick your spot from the inside since that is the area with the most difficult access. Do not run the tubing through the exact same hole as the steering shaft. It will tangle up with the steering shaft and cause major problems. El Poder De La Palabra Hablada Florence Scovel Pdf Converter.

8.)Install the gauge inside the car in the location of your choosing. Connect the pressure line to the gauge and secure it out of the way of moving parts with Tie-wraps.

Connect the other wire from the gauge lighting to a light brown/red wire on the radio wiring harness. There are 2 connectors in the radio wiring harness, but only one of them has the light brown/red wire you need for gauge illumination.

Solder the gauge lighting wire to the light brown/red wire on the radio harness and cover the soldered joint with heat shrink. How to solder like a pro - a must read for any automotive wiring job.

How to properly install the tripal sunpro gauge kit by sunpro CP8208 onto a chevy sb 400 1st generation engine. My two concerns are the oil pressure and temp.

Hey guys, I bought a little universal Sunpro 3 gauge pod with oil pressure, water temp, and volt meter in it. I got q's on installation of all 3. 1st, voltmeter, seems simple. Ground it and wire it in with a fuse box accesory. Seems simple. One thing, I have a cb wired into the fuse box and I have one of those accesorry fuses that has a wire coming out of it to wire things in.

Would it be safe to put the gauge on that fuse with the cb on there or should I get another one of those fuses? 2nd, is my 86 engine microprocessor controlled? It says with the oil pressure gauge to be sure that the microprocessor controled engines can accept aftermarket gauges.

3rd, for the water temp and oil pressure it tells me to wire them into the warning light sender. Where would these be for oil pressure and water temp?

Any other helpful hints on gauge installation is more then welcome![/align]. Okay, found both sender units. I'm okay with unplugging the stock gauges.

How would I wire the new gauge onto the oil sender unit post and the water temp? I need 2 wires on the gauge. Do I run the ground from the gauge and run the hot wire to the oil pressure sender unit? And the same for the water temp? Also, for the lights on the gauges, theres 3 individual 12v light bulbs that fit in with the gauges, could I wire these together, and wire them into my fuse box with an inline fuse and a 12v accesory switch? Also, the water temp gauge has a thick wire coming off of it with a long cylinder looking thing on the end. Its for when you wire the gauge mechanically, but i'm wiring them electronically so what do I do with that long cable, it doesn't unscrew.
