Looking to install a temp guage om my DS whats the best way to go? Hightower where did you get the one you are running?

 

He got it at:

Eddie Sanders Racings

And so did I, like it alot!

 

There are 3 options I see.
ESR gauge (or similar inline gauge) ESR is high quality (ive seen hightowers, its nice) and is 80.

Install an electrical gauge (autometer/sunpro etc..can get them at local car part stores) unless you buy mounting cups, you will have to find a place in your dash to install it.

Install a mechanical gauge (same deal with the above ^^)

Mechanical gauges require you to put a probe in either the thermostat, or find a TEE to run in the coolant line (some kits on ebay sell the TEE with the gauge for about 80, but I would suggest the ESR for that kind of $$)

I am in the same boat, trying to install a coolant temp gauge, and an oil pressure gauge. I decided to go mechanical for the oil, and also have a mech. for the coolant, but might go with the ESR for ease of installation.

BTW, as a few others have found, autozone carries a triple gauge kit (1 1/2 inch sunpro gauges) for 30 bucks. (this is what I picked up)

 

I need to Ebay the one I have, along with a ton of other parts.

I also purchased the 1-1/2 inch sunpro 3 gauge set to use the Oil pressure gauge. The water temp and amp meter I am not going to use because I already have the ESR.

 

hey dune patrol, for some reason it dosnt give me the option to PM you, but anyway, please email me with the stuff you need to empty from your garage (including the gauge) I am looking for a ton of ds stuff right now.
