Default Aftermarket gauge questions

Hey guy,

YES! I did search this. I want to run a oil temp, oil pressure, and a scan Aeroforce gauge.

1. Where should I look to get a oil temp reading?

2. If I use the stock test point that you guy use for the oil pressure, and can I make a "t" and get my temp sender there as well as my pressure sender?

Thanks in advanced,

-Kevin

That won't be a very accurate oil temp reading, IMO.

Pressure, sure, but not temp. Not sure where I'd go for temp.

That was my thought. I put an oil pressure gauge and oil temp gauge on my 25 hp Kohler-twin in my lawn mower. Used the conventional port for the pressure, but for temp, used one of the TWO drain plug holes.


Worked like a champ.
