Default How many hours labor?



I just got two gauges (Water Temp, and Air Fuel) put in along with a pod, and a Fuel reg. I was wondering how many hours labor you would guess to do this becuase it came out to like 300 bucks </P>


Also the water temp reads around 50 degrees F all the time and they belive it is the sending unit which is new from summit. They checked the actual temp and it reads right around 190 (normal). It is a new thermo so it has to be the sender right? </P>

To do all the gauges and do a good job and make it look professional i'd say 2-3 hours.I suggest you go with a mechanical gauge.The electric gauges are crappy for this reason.My electric gauge would read at the very bottom and when i went to a mechanical gauge i never had another problem.Also a mechanical gauge is much more accurate and dependable.

I change my own oil, and I know my way around a car, but these guys were painting and installing my stalker front end so when I dropped it off for the weekend I said go ahead and throw in the guages, because I thought they were gonna hook me up. I wont let them do that again.
