Addition of Engine Alarm w/ Audible Warning

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Having had some recent temperature issues I decided to pull the trigger on an engine temp / oil pressure alarm.  I remember reading about it in the Inexpensive Protection for Your Engine thread .  The installation seems pretty straight forward; install a Tee in the oil pressure line and thread the temp sensor into the intake manifold.  The problem is my intake manifold only has 2 threaded ports, both of which are currently being used (stock temp gauge sender & heater supply).  

While doing some searching to find an alternate port I came across this picture in the Some Gt-40 engine questions thread.  

 It mentioned that the temp sensor was located in one of the ports on the water pump.  
Can I used one of these to mount my alarm sensor?

	I just looked on www.skidim.com and found the device. Since I've removed my ECM brain-box, I think that I will install the audible warning device as a just-in-case feature. Thanks for the heads-up. JQ
