Gauges

[Anonymous]

Ok I know some of you have put these in your cars, I have a set of Trisco Gauges that I wanna put in my car (Amp, Oil Press, Temp), I'm having trouble with the Temp and Oil Gauges. The Temp sensor don't wanna fit properly in my 200's head the fitting screws in and all but the bulb sensor is way too loose inside and if I try running the engine this will obviously leak what i'm wondering is how do I remedy this is there another type of adapter out there that might work, the one that came with the kit holds it steady and all but it's too big and don't fit in the cylinder head. As for the Oil Preasure Gauge the tube will not stay put I hooked it up the way the instructions said to and it keeps sliding out of the fittings, again I don't wanna run the engine this way as this too will leak and will also leak inside the car as the tube does not wanna stay put on that end either.

as for the tube you are talking about... if i remember correctly it is the plastic tubing they provide in the package. go ahead and upgrade to some copper tubing for your oil pressure instead of that plastic. the plastic will come out one you get enough pressure shooting oil everywhere, either inside your car, or all over your engine bay. good luck. i've got the oil pressure and amp guages hooked up in mine, just have to install the temp guage. i'll let you know what i come up with if it will help at all.
