1. Read instructions thoroughly. The installation of this product

requires the expertise of a trained automotive mechanic. Please

consult a qualified mechanic if you have not had training in the proper

installation of instruments.

2. Determine ideal mounting location. Choose a location that will not

obstruct visibility or impair driving. Consult your vehicle’s repair manual

to locate: A) water temperature port

B) 12V ignition switch or fuse box

C) oil pressure port

3. Consult your vehicle’s manual to determine the best route for tubing to

follow. Choose a path free from hazard of moving parts or hot engine

components.

4. Assemble tools and parts required for installation.

5. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable. (Wear safety glasses) Do not

allow cable to touch battery or any metal. (NOTE: Disconnecting battery

ground may require you to re-program your radio station and clock after

re-connection).

Preliminary Steps

Snap-On Chrome Bezel

Mounting Options

CAUTION: Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their

pressure and temperature senders for engine control functions. Before

removing the original senders, we recommend that you contact your Auto

Dealer to be sure no critical functions will be disrupted.

n With pressure gauges, it is beneficial to add a T-fitting to install your

new gauge and to keep the warning light operational. This allows you to

monitor the pressure and still have a warning light to indicate emergency

conditions.

1. Tighten nuts and lock washer that secure the gauge mounting bracket.

Be sure they are not so tight as to bend or distort mounting bracket.

2. Electrical Connections

Install additional wiring and hardware as shown in diagrams to follow.

Now tighten the outer nut while holding the inner nut. This is the

only correct procedure and must be followed to insure safe electrical

connections. This applies to both the gauge and sender connections.

3. Make sure wires are not rubbing against metal or each other.

NOTE: Install gauges when engine is cool.

Important Assembly Procedures To Follow

One, two and three-hole

black panels are available for

mounting gauges under dash.

1. Gauge may be mounted in a 2

⁄8” dia. dashboard hole, in Auto

gage mounting panels or in Auto gage mounting cups.

2. Cut a

⁄8” dia. hole in firewall. Route temperature sensing bulb

through hole to engine compartment. Slit rubber grommet

provided and position in firewall hole so gauge tubing is held

firmly in place. If a gauge mounting cup is used install additional

grommet in back of cup in same manner.

3. Thread mounting nut into the

⁄2” or

⁄8” NPT port on engine.

Insert temperature sensing bulb in mounting nut and carefully

tighten sealing nut. Make sure tubing is free from moving parts

or hot engine components. The 2314 Oil Temperature Gauge

usually requires drilling a hole and brazing the

⁄2” NPT mounting

nut into the oil pan. Check for adequate internal clearances for

temperature sensing bulb in the oil pan before drilling any holes.

Install temperature sender as described above.

NOTE: Use teflon sealing tape or sealing compound to assure

proper seal on all pipe thread joints (NPTF).

4. Start engine and inspect installation for any leaks.

5. Snap-in light socket assembly and connect to dash lighting

circuit or other 12 volt power source.

IMPORTANT: Should you ever need to remove the temperature

sensing bulb, loosen the sealing nut without allowing the

mounting nut to rotate. Failure to follow this procedure may

result in internally broken capillary tubing, which would void the

warranty.
