anything special i need to know with a a pillar gauge pod install? and also where do i tap my sending unit for my water temp gauge???

you can tap it where the stock one is i would think? just put like a T pipe on and screw both in?

im in the process of gauges right now too and for oil pressure im putting a T in.

It goes where the stock one is... You could use a Tpipe and then your factory guage would still work, but if you dont want to buy one of those, the guage should come with a sending unit that will just screw right in..

Youre gonna have to run a wire through the firewall and up through the dash to come under the A-pillar.
Be careful when you take the pillar off and dont break the clips that hold it on.

ok what kind of threads will i need on this t tap? and where is the stock sensor located?

stock sensor is located on the passenger side, on the front of the intake manifold...on the coolant crossover.

When I installed mine I found I couldn"t get the sender to reach were the stock one was so i screwed mine into were a fitting was in the block on the driver side in the center of the block. I like this better because it gives you the temp of the block and not what it is going into the motor.

did the sending unit just screw right in? correct threads?

Yeah it should... The one that comes with the guage.. it should have the sending unit and then the adaptor that is a little bit bigger.. (I had to use the adaptor so Im sure you will too.. but it comes with it.)

This is how you are supposed to install an aftermarket water temp guage. If you try to put it in the stock location it will either look like garbage or your stock guage won't work.
