Oil Temp Gauge how-to?

Nov 17, 2003 1 Replies

For Dummies? Anyone got a handy-dandy reference to a "So You Want To Install Your Very First Oil Temperature Gauge" article. 71 bus w/ upright engine. Ten left thumbs. Good soldering skills. Size 10 shoe.


What kind of sensor do you want? Some have a sensor that replaces the dip stick (vdo 55-5012) and another one replaces the drain plug. I prefer the drain plug type (vdo 55-2010). VDO makes a multi adapter that lets you thread in both an oil pressure and temperature sender with no drilling or tapping required -- Part number is 55-2040
