I swapped a carbed 350 into my Camaro and Am trying to get the gauges all working now. I dont have a temp sender or oil pressure sender so I wanted to check if these are the right ones I need.

Oil pressure sender

I should be able to pop these on the motor and just connect a spade connector form the stock wires and it should work right? Oil pressure wire is tan and coolant temp is dark green?

Thanks

 

If those are the right senders for a 1990 Camaro, they'll work.

 

Well I could only find the coolant sensor thats for the ecm for a 90 camaro. So i donno if that one will work or not?

 

Ok I changed the car to an 85 carbed maro since thats the wiring harness I am running now and the site says they should fit. Ill give those a try then. Thanks

 

You don't want a coolant sensor for the ECM. The ECM doesn't operate the gauges.

 

Yeah thats what I meant. Sorry my wording was wrong lol

 

Ok, so I bought and installed those senders and hooke dup the wires that go to the gauges and I get nothing. Only gauge working is the volts one. I am running an 86(carb) engine wiring harness with 90 gauges. Is this a problem? I checked fuse for guages and its fine.

 

The route i am going is just to buying a a-pillar gauge pod, then get a coolant and oil gauges for it.

 

I wonder if those are switches rather than senders. If so, they won't do anything when operating normally.

Although the oil pressure should peg with ignition on and engine not running if it's a switch.

 

Well the are both ar zero and not moving. I measered the resistance on the coolant sender adn the resistance changes steadily as the motor heats up. I already hav e a a pillar pod but thats reserved for a couple other gauges

 

Oh yeah and the oil pressure sender said it was for a 60 psi gauge so i dont think it is just a switch
