deja Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My old engine used that adapter if thats what you're taking about. No issues, gauge worked fine. In fact I used one in the thermo housing for the gauge and there was a fitting in the water pump I used to run my fan. BTW if you live in Suwanee you live about 4 miles away. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Dale has anyone done the modification described in Mike Knell's book in order to use the 280Z temp sending unit in a chevy engine? any tricks I need to be aware of, did it work sucessfully? thanks for any info, and have a great holiday season!

saxfiend1967 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 i have also done the swap. I added an adaptor and mounted auto meter gauges in the firewall above the master cylinder.I have oil pressure vacuum and temp there with a toggle switch for back lighting.I have pics of it ,email me if you want to see them. I used 2 AND 1 ,16TH GAUGES and used a 2 ,1 8th key hole saw .also mounted 6al msd box and coil behind master cylinder. by the way for those of you with stick cars, tilton has a new master cylinder that is shorter( yes he said shorter) than the factory one so you do not have to relocated washer bottle,B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
