Can the single wire used for the oil idiot light also be used to operate a pressure gauge? I mean instead of the light? Or is the two pole pressure sender a must have?
I have a 911 temp/pressure gauge I'd like to instal. Anybody out there with a BTDT? TIA, Mike D. |

QUOTE(Mike D. @ Aug 5 2004, 11:20 PM) Can the single wire used for the oil idiot light also be used to operate a pressure gauge? I mean instead of the light? Or is the two pole pressure sender a must have? I would recommend keeping the light. It's a whole lot easier to notice the light going on than to notice a low reading on a gauge. Particularly if it gets low and then goes back up again. And just to make sure--the wire is just a wire. The stock sender will only work a light, it won't work a gauge in any meaningful way. If you want to run a gauge, you will need a sender that has a signal that the gauge wants. As long as you're replacing the sender anyway, you might as well get one that also has a "light" sender in it, and run the extra wire. D'OH! Just figured out it was for a Six. The above about the 'stock sender' is meant for a Four. The Six has separate light and gauge senders. I still recommend running the extra wire (it ain't that hard) so you have the light as well as the gauge. --DD |
