how difficult is the instal of 3 gauges (trans. Temp, Oil pres and water temp) into a lotek 3 gauge pod? i'll be doing this within the next 2 weeks and need to know what i'm getting myself into.

Well, it will be like installing any other electical gauge. I have Lunar Series Oil/Water/Volt gauges in my Lo-tek gauge holder.

The oil should be "T"d off into the factory sensor on the block... then run to the gauge. The reason you should T it off is so you can still have your factory light come on if oil pressure drops too low.

Water could be installed into the factory gauge sensor or into a block drain. Your best bet is to install it to the factory sensor and relocate the factory gauge to the block drain... You will get a more accurate reading from your Auto Meter this way and the dash gauge will still be functional.

The Trans temp will be more work... You will have to drill and tap into the tranny to install the sensor.

I assume you know how to wire the rest with the instructions the provide...?

The Lo-tek pod will have to be placed in and marked for the 2 screws. then remove and drill... not much harder than that. The gauges will push in and be held by tension. You will not need the aluminum brackets that come with the gauges.

I am sure I missed something... Let me know if you have anymore questions.
