[Shotimes] Guage sending unit help

[Donelson Don]

U can go to any hardware and get a brass "T" to do what is needed.

I would get a new oil pressure sending unit from ford. They arent that expensive and install the new one and discard the old one.

When u have the new sending unit, you can use that to get the right size brass "T". 

Same goes with the water temp. Only consideration is if un have a "T" on the water , u might notice lower temps on the furthest sensor away from the opening that the "T" threads into the motor.

I have done it this way and and what I am going to do is extend the sending unit for the idiot gauge down to my tranny were my drain plug is that i installed. Since I have a quaife i am going to use the factory water temp as rough guide what my temps are in the tranny when i race.
