Guys,
Have a '67 notch and planning to install some aftermarket gauges under my dash (recently bought all AutoMeter electric short sweep gauges). Will run oil pressure, water temp, trans temp, and a volt meter (will complete ammeter bypass mod as well when installing volt). All stock gauges currently work and I plan to keep them installed.
Couple questions. Think I'm going to run into a space problem once I add a tee to my existing oil pressure sending unit (see attached pic)...running Magnum 360 with RPM Air Gap. Only have about 1/2" space under vacuum can on side of dizzy. Obviously could spin it to make more room but my timing is spot on right now and don't want to mess with it. Can I install the new AutoMeter oil pressure pickup without using the little 'hat' that goes on top?? I think I've seen a few pictures of that setup but maybe it was a different brand/type of gauge?
As far as wiring, planning to tap into the orange wire for lighting and the blue wire with white tracer underneath dash for switched +12v power...these correct? Was hoping I could find a way to get power without having to cut/splice anything but the 'add-a-circuit' doohickies I've seen are only for spades, not buss fuses (see attached pic).
Thanks in advance for the help!
