So I received my Dakota Digital CHT gauge today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Looks great


Anyways, I have some questions and I want some answers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)


1 - The gauge sender washer/loop/ring end is just a hair too small to slide/thread onto the spark plug. I did order the correct size, 14mm, but it seems still just a tad too small. Is it ok to open the hole up just a little tiny bit more? It seems highly doubtful it'd be a problem, but just checking.

2 - Does the sender ring replace the spark plug washer? If not, does it go in front of the washer, or in between the washer and plug?

3 - The gauge has a night dimming feature so that when the headlights are turned on, it dims the output of the gauge (it's a digital display). I notice there are some unhooked male spade connectors in the center tunnel wiring harness, behind the shifter. They have a plastic protector box around them. What are they for? I think I've read that they're for center console gauge lights, correct?


Thanks for any help
