    well hope these one’s work, more basic than the nexus, which run a controller box.

    another few question’s:

    how long does it take for the temp gauge on the dash to start moving. im not sure if mine is sticking, has a bad connection or bad sender

    sender is new, but i’ve had other VS Dash clusters stick before (not this one) so i thinking it could…[Read more]

    i bought these a while back, would be out of warranty by now.  the ones i have are NEXUS, which are not even made anymore-which probably says enough of the story

    might be stupid question but is there any reason not to use a Regular oil temp gauge as the trans temp gauge, so everything is either Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit , as they do a oil…[Read more]

    Now just to buy new Autometer gauges

    the current ones i have have digital stepper motors, should i get something similar? didnt really want mechanical ones

    Looking for Trans Temp, Water Temp and Oil pressure Have to be 2 1/16(52mm) was looking at Autometer cobalt or Sports comp gauge (prefer something with a Black Face)

    It was flickering a bit between those numbers mainly, not less than 40 psi though. but I would be guessing that’s the idle, as it’s not tuned properly

    Well found a pressure gauge in the shed, so adapted the gauge to fit the spot where the Autometer sender was

    fired if up car was idling about 1500rpm at the time if was between 40-50psi, and goes up more with move revs

    Yeah primed the system, even double checked that by repacking it again.

    Gauge is an electric Autometer Nexus

    I’ll get another gauge tomorrow, and screw it straight into the pump

    hopefully haven’t done any damaged, had it running for 10-15 minutes

    Ok, got it running, the car does Have oil pressure, as we can See oil in the heads while running

    Autometer gauge is reading sometimes and other times is dead, factory oil pressure light is working as it should. Oil filter seal let go once but got fired up so changed the filter over

    What temp does the water temp gauge  read at when the t…[Read more]
