AutoMeter INVISION LCD DASH KIT Manual page 5

Step 3, Senders:
Water temperature: The InVision
temperature gauge sender is located in the intake manifold, toward the front on the drivers side. You can remove this sender, and install the
AutoMeter sender & 3/8" NPT adapter bushing in this location.
*TIP: The factory gauge sender uses a single wire. You do not want to remove the 2-wire sender (sensor) located on the opposite side of the
intake manifold.
The AutoMeter sender is 1/8" NPT, and includes a 3/8" NPT & ½" NPT adaptor bushing.
.
If you are running a GM LS based engine, you will need a different sender & adapter due to the LS engine family unique size of 12mm x 1.5.
You will need AutoMeter model number 2259 sender & model number 2277 adapter. This will install into the passenger bank cylinder head,
just past the last exhaust port.
You may now connect the Green w/ white stripe sender wire from the InVision
Oil Pressure: The InVision
left (drivers side) front of the engine block, near the oil filter. This port is ¼" NPT. Many, but not all SB Fords have an oil pressure extension
pipe, which you will want to retain, in order to fit our sender. If you do not have this extension pipe, you can order one from sellers such as
Scott Drake (google Scott Drake oil pressure extension).
You will have to remove the factory sender from this location in order to install the AutoMeter sender.
The AutoMeter sender is 1/8" NPT, and includes a ¼" NPT adaptor bushing.
If you are running a GM LS based engine, you may need a different adapter due to the LS engine family unique size of 16mm x 1.5 located
at the back of the engine. You will need AutoMeter model number 2268 adapter. Another popular option is to modify the cover plate located
just above the oil filter, and drill & tap a 1/8"NPT hole and install the sender there. Some choose to run braided line, such as AutoMeter
model number 3227, in order to remotely mount the sender away from the exhaust when using this location/method.
Fuel Level: This kit is designed for multiple factory fuel senders. The resistance ranges that are compatible are: 0-90, 240-33, 73-10 (linear),
73-10 (non-linear), 16-158, 40-250, and 0-30 OHM. If you have a fuel sending unit other than those listed you will need to change the fuel
sender.
Speed Sensor/Sender: This sender was not included with the InVision
sender due to using a late model drivetrain, or having a pre-existing electric speedometer.
You can use AutoMeter model number 5292 speed sender if using a Ford transmission with a factory cable output. Connect the red wire from
the speed sender to the 2 foot red from the InVision
from the InVision ® Digital Dash wire harness. Connect the white speed sender wire to the violet wire from the InVision
harness.
If you have a pre-existing 2-wire speed sender that was being used for an electric speedometer, you may connect one wire of this speed
sender to the 2 foot black wire from the InVision
wire from the InVision ® Digital Dash wire harness. Many times the polarity of the 2 wire speed sender is not polarity sensitive. Though if you
have a black wire, that one is typically ground, and the other (white, tan, violet, green, etc.) is typically signal. If both were the same color,
then it will not matter.
If you are using a factory late model drivetrain which uses its own speed sender, you will then use the factory speed-out wire/circuit.
Start the engine: Check to make sure you are registering oil pressure, water temperature (as it warms up), volts, fuel level, and RPM. You
will need to calibrate & drive the vehicle for speedometer function. Also check for any leaks at this time.
If all looks good, then begin installing the new InVision
removed.
® Digital Dash must use the included AutoMeter temperature sender. On most SB Fords, the factory
® Digital Dash must use the included AutoMeter pressure sender. The SB Ford oil pressure port is located on the
Digital Dash wire harness. Connect the black speed sender wire to the 2 foot black wire
®
Digital Dash wire harness. Then connect the other wire of the speed sender to the violet
®
®
® Digital Dash wire harness.
