I plan to install an old but refurbished '69 center console into my '69 and add the Shelby gauge pod in place of the ash tray.
I am going to use a set of mechanical oil and water gauges. I want the gauges on the dash to function as well.
Where would you install the second water temp sending unit (the big bulky mechanical type)? Would you take out the dash gauge sending unit, put the new one in it's place and then find another place for it or not? I know there's a plugged bung on the water neck but I'm not sure if I would use this or not. If it makes a difference I have an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake - perhaps it has another bung for a sender in the water but I don't think so....?
As for the oil pressure sender, I plan to install a 'T' fitting at the end of the extension that was original to the engine. Does anyone know exactly what I'll need at the hardware store? Is it a 1/2" NPT thread or what? Since the senders are all MALE (corrected) threaded, I assume I'll need some couplers, etc... I can always take the sending units with me to the hardware store I guess.
Thanks!
