3 gauge A-pillar install, help

[00 Silver 6]

I just picked up a a pilar gauge cluster to get the ball rolling on my nitrous install... has anyone installed autometer trans temp, A/F, or fuel pressure gauges before? any help/advice is greatly welcomed

just take your time and get the wiring right.


if this is for nitrous...then where is your nitrous gauge?

the trans temp gauge isnt getting hooked up, that spot is being replaced with a nitrous pressure gauge... i have to order it first though

They are really easy to hook up. I dont have time to explain it right now, but when I get home from work I'll post some info. PM me if I forget.

BTW, is the A/F gauge a wideband?

no, i thought it was but it turns out its a narrowband... trust me i know how useful those can be...

Assuming you have all electric gauges this is easy.

For a 12V power source...look behind the fuse panel on the drivers side, there are 2 unused fuses: accessory and battery. Put a male quick connect on one power wire from the gauge and plug it in to either one of them. I used both for my gauges.



For a ground, just piggy back onto the black wire on the headlight switch.

As far as the senders are concerned...

For the nitrous sender:


Put it inline with the bottle and the solenoids using a gauge adapter.

For the fuel sender:


Cut the fuel line and put in a T fitting.

Or....

If you have a wet nitrous kit, using another gauge adapter, just put the sender inline with the fuel solenoid right before the FPSS.

Re: 3 gauge A-pillar install, help

im running a dry shot, what size t fitting should i get, and what is that attached to the t-fitting? im assuming its a fuel pressure sensor, but i want to be sure before i go cutting my fuel line... and if it is a FPS, then where can i get one that will work with my setup?

thats all my questions... for now

Re: 3 gauge A-pillar install, help

Im not sure on the size of the T fitting. Look up the size of your fuel lines in a Haynes or Chilton manual.

Then pressure sender/harness comes with the gauge (it should anyhow).
