I'm trying to use my original 69 gauges (not lights) in my LS1 swap. To get correct readings I think that I need to use a 69 water temp sensor, but I cannot find a M12 x 1.5 to 1/2" NPT adapter (too thin wall?). Do you sell something that will work?
Thanks for your inquiry. The 5284 LS Install Kit is designed to adapt our electric gauges to the LS block. Unfortunately as you suspect adapting 1/2" NPT to M12 X 1.5 is not a workable solution.Date published: 2019-01-11What is the resistor used for and why? I assume this is for the tachometer signal coming ffrom the GM ECM. Can you let me know what type of signal AutoMeter receives? I am using the Designer Black II series with a 2015 LS3 and Gm Perf controller
Josh, it's a 5K resistor.Date published: 2018-09-08what size is the nut on the transmission temperature sensor it came off and need to replace it
Hi Bill, thank you so much for contacting us. The thread size is 10-32 UNF-2A. Hope this helps!Date published: 2018-07-24I need a coolant temperature sensor for a LS 1 engine that is compatible with the original 1960 Corvette temperature gauge. Do have one for this application? Thanks John
Hi John, thank you so much for contacting us. Unfortunately, I am unaware of anyone that makes a such a sending unit. Our senders are designed for use with our gauges. You might be able to use your original Corvette sender in one of our radiator hose adapters: https://www.autometer.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=radiator+adapter#1&profile=products Otherwise you'd need to drill and tap the cylinder head on your engine to fit that OE sender. Hope this helps!Date published: 2018-05-14Is one of these fittings for the oil pressure sending unit? 16mm x 1.50
Hi Randy, thank you so much for the question. Yes, the larger adapter is the M16 x 1.5 adapter that we sell separately as model 2268. This would adapter our 1/8" NPT oil pressure sender or line to the factory LS oil pressure port.Date published: 2018-02-26What 2 5/8 water temp gauge can be used with this kit to work on my 5.3? And what 2 1/16 water temp gauge also ?? Im not sure which size I want yet.
Hi Shaun, thank you for connecting with us. This kit is actually compatible with all short sweep and full sweep electric Auto Meter gauges. Full sweep gauge senders will fit directly into the metric adapter, while short sweep gauges will use the shallow depth sender included in the LS Install Kit.Date published: 2018-01-29Are these for Mechanical or Electric gauges adaptors?
Hi Jesus. Thank you for the question. These adapters will work with either mechanical or electric pressure, but not temperature. They will work with an electric temperature, but there are still limitations on the smaller M12 x 1.5 adapter. It will not accept our standard 2258 electric temp sender, but will accept the 2259 shallow depth sender.Date published: 2018-01-02This is fit for Transmission and Transfer Case Oil Temperature?
Hi Cesar, thank you so much for contacting us. This kit is designed to allow for easy installation of tachometers, electronic water temperature and oil pressure gauges on GM LS derived engines. I don't believe you'll be able to use the kit on a transmission or transfer case. With that said, the 2259 temperature sending unit that is included with this kit is ideal for transmission or transfer case temps when a test port is available on the case. Hope this helps!Date published: 2017-11-10
