Mechanical temp gage install HELP
My factory temp gage is dead in my 86 T/A WS6 305 TPI. I bought a aftermarket gage but where do I put the probe ?

Re: Mechanical temp gage install HELP
in the intake manifold (next to t-stat housing) or on the side of the drivers side head. Either will work. Mines in the manifold...

Just wondering about mechanical gauges, do you have to attach power to it to function?

The only electrical connections you will have to make are the ones for the light inside the gauge.

Would the sender unit have to be changed as well, if one has a dummy light cluster setup?
