Aftermarket gauges for an 87 Fox
I'd like to install aftermarket guages on my 87 Fox. Where would be the best place to install a water temp gauge? Oil: does the stock oil pressure sender send a signal to anything other than the idiot light? I'd like to just be able to tap that point for a line to a mechanical gauge (or to a sender for an electronic gauge). I am intrigued by oil temp gauges... where do these typically hook into? oil pan? somewhere near the filter? Also, as I have a spare MAP gauge, I'd like to hook it up. Is there a nice place to splice that in? one of these days i'll get the manual... but i though i'd ask here first. Thanks in advance! /tom -- ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( * ) ) ) there is no antelope ) ) | Rev.

Try http://www.egauges.com/ Get a dual output sender, I replaced my idiot light sender (M10x1.0 thread) with a dual output analong/contact sender driving a VDO pressure gauge. -- Roger |
