 LeatherZ water temp gauge installed...



Finally, I have a set of useable, meaning full gauges (to me at least) in the center console. I wish I didn't need the water temp, but the stock one is just not cutting it.

Here is my console as it look currently....

Looks great. What oil pressures is the gauge indicating during idle and higher rpms?

I must agree with you on "meaningful gauges"
I must do this one of these days...providing I can get my paws in there.

warm idle runs about 20psi and sprited and highway revs have the pressue up at about mid-50's.

I haven't done much driving with the water temp gauge in yet, but so far it has only seen about 185.

I had a hard time getting my hands in there so I ended up basically removing the center concsole to work on it.

Is there not a temp gauge already on the dash?... I need to install a pressure gauge... looks nice.

Someone else will have the precise details in temrs of actual temperatures but the engine temp gauge on the main cluster is not precise - the needle will be in the upright position provided that the temp stays within a certain range - so you wll not know if you are running at the top or bottom end of that range.
