Re: Location for auxiliary temp gage sender

I installed an auxillary gauge set for temp and oil pressure on my 47 Clipper Custom. I installed the gauge set on the bottom of the ash tray, where it is easy to read, but can be removed without evidence, should a future owner wish to do so.
I connected the mechanical water temp gauge to the fitting on the back of the cylinder head were the heater hose valve is located as I wanted it to sense the warmest part of the system. I placed the gauge so that it was in front of the shut off valve. It seems to work well, giving good temperature readings.
The connection for the mechanical oil pressure switch is to the rearmost plug on the main oil gallery.
I retained the original gauges and connections, but they seem to read too low. I rely on the auxillary gauges for correct readings.
