a little keyboard action

http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?gid=3113&sid=11

directions:
http://www.autometer.com/productPDF/2650-1079-00rC.pdf

going from that info...
Middle post = Ground
Labeled "S" = to sending unit
Labeled "I" = switched 12v source

the one at the top is your lamp so one side will need a ground, the other you need to tie into your dash lights, or switch 12v source.

YES you need a sender installed in the block in one of the water jackets so it can read the TEMP. Did you not get one with the GAUGE, You should have!!

I didn't, I just got the gauges themselves , would you happen to know the part number for it?
