When required, use adaptor bushings on all
cars that have larger oil gallery taps. See
chart below for typical gallery tap sizes.
Ford
GM
Chrysler
Independent
(Rambler, Willys)
4.
To install Oil Pressure Gauge with function-
ing indicator light, insert bushing, nipple and
"T" fitting (not included) in place of present oil
light sending unit on side of the engine block.
5.
Connect the tubing to one side of the "T"
fitting and the other end to the Oil Pressure
Gauge. Then connect oil light sender to the
other side of the "T" fitting.
ammeter gauge
1.
note:
To install Ammeter correctly, make
sure that all added wiring is the same gauge
(or larger) as the wiring found on the car
(typically #12 or #10 AWG).
WarnIng! Break existing connection and
mount Ammeter in series. Do not connect
between the heavy wires that run from the
battery and to the starter.
Proper connection will insure that any current
drains that exceed the alternator/generator
charging rate will be indicated as negative (-)
discharge on the Gauge.
Any alternator/generator charging current
output that exceeds the total battery current
drain will be indicated as positive (+) charge
on the Gauge
2.
WarnIng!
Do not connect wires between
the brass hex nuts and washers at back of
the Gauge Set case. Doing so can lead to
loose connections and erratic operation.

Chrysler) refer to Figure 2 (below) during the

A.) Mount Ammeter where desired and route
the wires from Ammeter through the fire
wall and to the magnetic starter switch.
B.) At the large solenoid terminal, disconnect
all wiring EXCEPT for the heavy battery
cable.
C.) Gather all disconnected wires and group
together using a nut and bolt.
D.) Connect one Ammeter wire to the group
of wires and insulate to prevent wires from
touching chassis, body or engine of car.
E.) Connect other Ammeter lead wire to mag-
netic starter switch terminal, where the
heavy battery cable connects. (This is the
same terminal where wires were removed
in step "b").
F.) Keeping the engine off, turn headlights on
and observe the direction of the Ammeter
needle movement. It should point to the
left or "-" (discharge). If it points to the right
or "+" (charge), reverse the position of
wires at rear of Ammeter.
G.) Once proper indication is achieved on
Gauge, securely tighten all connections.
Make sure no parts of any exposed wire
conductors touch any grounded part of
the car.

In cars with a separate mounted junction
terminal or a horn relay (such as GM) refer to

A.) Follow Step A on previous page.
B.) Disconnect the wire running from the hot
battery post to horn relay or junction ter-
minal (usually black).
