Can anyone help me out!!!!!

Post by Drift-rat-jim » 16 Aug 2013 09:34 pm

Hi all I have a set of vdo gauges oil temp and pressure and I want to fit them to my redblock b200 engine. Where do I start and what do I need? I have a sender for the pressure gauge but where do I fit it on the engine and I need a sender for the temp and where would I fit that one as well. Would be great if anyone can help me out thanks

You can use an adaptor on the oil pressure switch for the pressure sender, you need to know the threads. The block is tapped for M14 I think.

There may also be a hole just under the front of the head for it, but requires an angled adaptor depending on the thread.

The temperature sender is not so easy, you need to modify the sump plug or the sump. You need to measure the oil temp in the sump.
