I just picked up my Autometer 2 1/16 Mechanical Water Temp Gauge, and wired it up, and started to route it through the firewall, when I came to a few problems. First, the tubing that comes with the gauge is too short to reach the bung on the thermostat when mounted on the a pillar (even though the 4 point plug on the thermostat on mine is impossible to get off!). Second, the blue anodized fitting included with the temp probe will not fit in the factory Temp Sensor location on the lower intake.
Now, I did a search and someone mentioned that the 1/2'' bushing would not work, that I needed a 3/8'' bushing. Where can I get one that works? And how do I get the blue one off, and the new one on?? (it looks like I would have to cut the line to do this) Browsing Summit, would ATM-2263 or ATM-2272 work? I really don't want to go through Summit, as $6 for the part and another $5 for shipping is complete BS. Where can I get one?
