oil gauge install / air-fuel install - 07/23/06 11:55 PM
I have the engine out of the car, so I figure now is the easiest time to install the sending unit to the block. I found the hex nut that was behind the compressor, it looks like I'm going to have to buy another fitting/reducer so it will fit the kit.
1. After you guys mounted it to the block, what route did you use for the tubing? What is easiest and low-risk from heat/rotating objects?
I also have a lights and whistles gauge (air/fuel) and I haven't looked at it in a while, but I think it said to connect it to the lower o2 sensor. Now, I have MSDS headers going in with my 3L, and instead of installing MIL Elim's I was just going to disable my lower o2's via the prp/xcal2.
2. Will disabling the lower o2's effect the A/F gauge? Will it still work, just not be read by the PCM, meaning the gauge will work, or does it mean the gauge will not work.
Yes, I know an A/F gauge is pretty worthless unless it's wideband...but thats not really in the budget right now. Any info is appreciated.
