You can.........you would just have to add a adapter, I have no pics, some would talk you out of putting gauges on you already have a indicator for, but even though I have a Tach like all of us I had that Mini Tach put in w/ built in shift light, so yeah can do... but like with me I wanted a Transmission temp gauge, they said are you running an automatic, no 5 Spd, they said you don't need, like with a narrow band or wide band fuel/air gauge, if you have bunch engine mods do a wide band, no mods use a Narrown band, lot cheaper too. Hope that helps ..........JT

The stock sending unit and "gauge" (a poor excuse for a gauge actually) will still work. I don't have any pics off hand, but the new sensor would go into a spot on the driver's side of the block, just below the exhaust header. Once you're under the car and look there it's easy to see, it's a little brass plug you remove then put the new piece in. Tell Autometer or the parts place what car you have and they'll make sure you get the right adapter for it.

Changing out one of my gauges, my tach/shift lite , the 1 and 3 have a burned LED so my tune shop will give me my $$ back on that, going with a Raptor Shift light and a Oil Pressure gauge instead., do that on 15 Feb. just a few bucks for labor they said. Plus autometer said if i pulled out and mailed to them they would fix free up to a year of any issues, I just want to prevent issues again later, lot of LEDS in that tach/shift light anyways.
