I installed an Auto Meter H2O guage in my '67 cluster where the clock would go. My '67 had a blank where the clock normally goes and I wanted to use the space and wanted a more accurate guage as well.

So now my stock H2O guage is just sitting there not working. I'm thinking it would be neat to somehow hook it up to my '68 C6 tranny so I can track it's temp.

Anyone know how I could get an electrical temp sending unit plumbed into my C6? Should I tie it into the lines with a "T" fitting? Is there a place to screw in a sending unit on the C6 somewhere? What temp does a C6 normaly run at?

Thanks!
Brian

Autometer offers several senders and pan installation kits. Weld or blot in.
The other option is to get a new pan with a front or rear drain plug hole and use Autometers adapter kit for that.

Thanks Alex! I wasn't aware Autometer had such adapters.
