Ford Racing Mechanical Gauge Install Help!!!!

[roadrunner19va]

I just purchased a Ford Racing Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge and a Ford Racing Mechanical Water Temp Gauge for my 1993 5.0 mustang. I would like to keep the stock gauges working. Does anyone know where I can hook up the senders for the ford Racing gauges so I do not have to remove the stock senders. Thanks for anyones help in advance. Travis

well you are kinda screwed....the mechanical oil guage plugs into the side of the block exactly where the stock electric guage is attached so pick and choose as far as the oil guage is concerned

for the water temp gauge, put the FRPP one in the stock place, then relocate the stock one to the plug found at the rear pass corner of the intake (near 4th cylinder.)

just get a tee fitting , may have to get some elbows and what not cause those senders are huge. gets tight in there by the filter and PS pump and all.

Yep, you can keep all your gauges functional. As said, for OP use a Tee. For two elec OP gauges, a 90* brass fitting exiting the far end of the brass tee can help to make both elec senders fit (like Jerry was talking about).

For water, use the above-mentioned rear driver side plug in the lower intake. If you do that and want info on removing the plug without removing the upper intake, post. Otherwise you can also tap the thermostat and relocated the stock POS sender there (if the stat sticks closed, that gauge will not really tell ya - hence using it for the lame sender/gauge).

Do NOT use a Tee for temperature gauges though.

Good luck.
