 Another "taco plate" question, Update: job complete, but is gauge accurate? |

Guys, I think I posted pics of the wire routing in an old thread... There are clips on the front of the motor and maybe on the bottom of the oil cooler, but I don't seem to have the pics anymore, sorry! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Sep 15 2007, 01:22 PM)  might not be ideal to route the wire through the hole for the shift rod but other than that, looks good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Andy I'm dropping the motor this winter in order to clean up the engine bay and treat some rust issues, so I figured I'd just run the wire through there for now. I have it zip-tied so it can't make contact with the shift rod or abrade against the engine mount. |

My oil temp gauge is a VDO but without the numbered temps on the face, just a red zone on the right. Since installing the oil temp sensor, the needle on the gauge hasn't gone past the letter "E" in the word "TEMP" on the face of the gauge (ie: it hasn't reached 12 o'clock). Is this normal, assuming the engine is in proper working order and all the engine tin and seals are in place?

That's about right. Mine runs between the "T" and the "E", even on hot days here in Texas. If you search, I seem to remember a thread where someone had done a conversion that had shown the actual temps for each letter on that gauge.
