Air Gap / Autoguage Question

[SgtLee511]

I am setting up my Air Gap on my 340, mounted my Autoguages guages and first thing I noticed was the AutoGuage water temp sensor is huge. It aint going to fit in the original sensor hole location, leaving me only one option, I purchased a Brass 3/8 tee and mounted the tee where the heater hose nipple is located, but it looks like if I tighten the sensor into the tee it is gona bottom out. Anyone else have a suggestion of how to get around this, the whole darn thing looks alien on the manifold now.

I know some who have drilled and tapped where the stock sender goes next to the heater hose fitting.

Get another temp gauge. Autometer comes to mind. That is what I am using.

 

[SgtLee511]

Well that would be an option, not sure I B that qualified but good option, dont want to throw it away just yet, LOL

 

[SgtLee511]

Well I guess I need to preview my posts better, They are Autometer

Here you go, you still have to order fittings for it.
This is what I am going to use on my LD4B intake, I checked it and it is the same as the moper thermostat.
I drilled my LD340 for a fitting, not a lot of meat in that area.

Is your intake a real air gap, if so there are plenty of places to hook the gauge up at.

Mechanical gauge? 3/8 NPT hole?

Agree!!!

THanks for the help

I went ahead and ordered that fitting at Summit, Thanks it will solve the problem

Yep. Here's my Air Gap that I run a mechanical temp guage on and you can see the brass adapter still screwed in.

you said the sender was huge,no way its going to fit.so how is making the hole smaller working for you??

 

[BrianT]

The female threaded portion of the adapter is bigger and fits the temp sender and it screws into the smaller hole in the intake. It works.

I drilled and tapped mine. I don't like modifing something that should already be that way but I had no issues.

If you all would look at the picture BrianT posted with the fitting Crackedback linked too ....it is that simple...Dam.....LOL

just bolted an autometer adapter on to an Air Gap last night....

you can put an old stock temperature sensor in the stock location to plug the hole or use a 1/8 or maybe it is a 1/4 NPT plug to plug it....
