The sensor or the gauge itself?

prob the sensor and yes, on the back of the passenger side head there is a plug. autometer has the sending unit for that. call them up and get one but get more coolant cause u will lose a lot of it

Get the Equus adapter kit too, none of the sending unit adapters in the autometer kit will fit that thread size.

none of them in the kit will work but if you call they will send you the one that does

Auto Barn has the correct adapters also. Or you can do what I did: Remove the bubble tube and drill and tap that hole for the actual size you need. It's also a much easier location to get to than the one at the back of the motor.

Through the firewall???

Where?? Drilling required?? Doing the same install myself. I need to fit some wires through. 3 gauges total.

I'm not sure who or what your asking, but if you need to run any wires from the engine bay to the interior, use the factory hole under the ECM. All the cars wires go through there and there is plenty of room for more.

You have to undo the 2 bolts holding the wires in place, remove the ECM and you will see it. On the inside you need to remove the kickpanel. When pluging the ECM wires back you will need to place the rubber seals either on the plugs or on the ECM. One works better then the other (I can't remember which) and then push them together making sure they are getting a good seal.
