Reply to "temp gauge"

I have the fluidyne radiator and just pluged both holes up with a washer and correct M22 size plug from Napa, i believe it's M22. I used the fluidyne temp sensor that goes into one of the radiator hose hole and has an adjustable thermostat that turns on and off my fans. I adjust it so I can get a 180 degree reading on my temp gauge and just leave it there. This works perfect for me.

As for the temp sensor, autometer hasbeen pretty reliable for me as giving it a close to 100% matching sensor and gauge since they supply both. I just stuck the autometer temp sensor into the block in the same horizontal position, hooked up the wires directly to the gauge with no resistor. Double checked the temp and if it needed any clibration, but it didn't so I didn't add a resistor. The resistor is only if the sensor and gauge don't really match that well and it's to calibrate it and correct it. I didn't seem to need to. Got the carbon fiber gauges.. I wish I didn't though, the backlight is just as bad like stock since carbon fibre isn't see thru! I should have gotten the new white ones with blue back ground or the cobalt gauges from auto meter, but they seem so expensive... Good luck.
