help autometer gauges

[lowone06]

i have a 97 cobra and i do not know what o2 i need to hook my air\fuel gauge to and on my water temp it is electric so what water jacket do you go to and can you tap in the stock wires

Don't bother with the narrow band air/fuel sensor (might as well go with a wideband style instead, unless you just want a dancing light show).

For the water temperature gauge, one place you can install the sender is on the top of the coolant crossover tube (in front of the alternator).

i all ready have the air\fuel so i will use it for now and the water temp do i need to drill and tap a hole in it

u can get an adaptor and put the sender in it where the bleeder is in the coolant crossover tube, check this out. i just put one on my car and it works great and no modification to the crossover tube is necessary.

not sure if you get to the link without signing in there first. if not go to svtperformance.com and search for water temp adapters

Thanks for the link onebadmystic, that's a great looking install, looks like it came stock like that. SWEET.

I've been wanting to get gauges that will actually give information rather then just give a ball park reading. Like our temp gauges with "NORMAL" .

Besides water temp gauge, what do you all feel are good reading to keep an eye on for a NA car? Oil pressure maybe? Any others?

Thanks for the suggestions fellas, sorry if I side tracked the thread some.

Definitely oil pressure. I run oil press & water temp (NA here).
