Yup. However thats for the voltage regulator. Option A is the impedance buffer circuit.

Mike,

Order a project board form Amazon (they're cheap as eff):



Lay your circuit components out as depicted in the diagrams above. Once you see it laid out in this manner, it will be clear as day.

I have two dedicated senders,..I'm trying to put two senders in one hole, or feed two gauges with one sender.

Two senders on a Tee fitting is ok for pressure, because the pressure will be equal. That's Pascal's law and the reason hydraulic brakes work as well as they do.

Two senders on a Tee fitting isn't going to work well for temperature. There is no way that you can guarantee the each sender will see the same coolant flow past it.

Why? Two reasons:
1.) If the coolant isn't flowing past the sender, you will definitely have some discrepancies; Tee fittings are basically dead ends.
2.) Because temperature, unlike pressure can be different in different places. If you have trouble grasping that, think about how the engine cooling system works...

And to think I got kicked off a forum for using the word "Chinaman". Admin claimed that was offensive. I countered with: what do I call an Englishman, then, or Frenchman, or Irishman? POOF! I was gone! Admin's name was Tang.

But, "round-eyes"?? New one on me! imp

That is perfectly clear...it's the schematics, with abbreviations for circuits, and the whole current flow junk that don't make no sense.

I read the original post...the stock ecu sensor (ect?) And an aftermarket watertemp gauge? Is the stock one functional? Just trying to see what ports you have available in the lower intake

I put my aftermarket temp sender in stock location and moved my stocker to one of the rear EGR coolant hose ports on the lower. Reads a tick cooler there but I have a working Guage as backup
