Postby z|gen » Thu Jun 01, 2006 1:14 pm

hey guys,

just after a bit of info as the instructions dont really tell me anything.
need to know the location of the mounting points for the senders of an Oil pressure gauge and also a water temp gauge on a bluetop tvis 4age.

Oil pressure is on the exhaust side of the block, nearer the timing end half way up, its the steel diaphram lookign thing I suppose youd call it. when ya run the feed, make sure its a metal one, and run it around the front of the motor with the dizzy wiring otherwise you might find it will catch burst and catch fire from the heat of the extractors.

The water temp is above the water pump in the casting with the radiator hose outlet on it, at the timing end of the motor.

Have a search, ive posted pics up before of the locations.

For water temp I'd get a a hose adaptor made so the sensor can be tee'd into the heater hose, thats what I've just done.
