Autometer C2 Guage Install 2011 5.0
I got the gauges & mounting pod. Now I need some help getting these installed. I want to add (electrical) water temp, oil temp and oil pressure on the Coyote but retain the factory idiot light faux gauges. This should be as simple as adding a tee or maybe a "Y" connector but have no clue as to what thread sizes are in the block.
Can anyone shed what was used to adapt?
My gauges are shown in the Boss Pod and fit good but I did have to grind down a couple of plastic nubs that kept the center bezel from fitting flush with the housing. I also realized the dash pad is not a separate piece so drilling the holes and running the wires should be fun too.
Here's a few more photos of the pod on my flickr:

Looks good. I have the boss pod as well but have not decided on what gauges to use yet. Id like to get two Aeroforce Interceptor Gauges but might just do like you and get some autometers.

I don't have any problem drilling holes in the dash, the gauges will be a permanent fixture.

I will be finishing my install of Autometer Volt and Water Temp gauges along with my Aeroforce Interceptor tomorrow morning.
To do your setup, you will need:
~Darren
To do your setup, you will need:
- Oil filter sandwhich adapter with 2 outlets for your Oil Pres. and Oil Temp. sensors - look them up for Ford as there are many vendors
- For Water Temp., you will need Autometer Rad Hose Adapter which comes with a bung for the Water Temp. sending unit. I installed mine on the weekend with little issue - fit like a charm and looks clean installed with loom leading back to the cabin

Guys
I am installing Auto meter 3 gauge set up water, oil press and oil temp and I am trying to identify the correct wires to tap for switched 12v power and dash illumination. If anyone can identify the color and closest location to head light switch I would appreciate it.
