Digi Dash ~ Actual Temp Readout?

[ZZT231]

Hey All,

Does anyone know the actual temp readout per bar for the digital dash?

Cheers.

COLD - NORMAL - HOT



but seriously, I doubt they are very accurate anyway.
even guys with analog gauges will advise you fit aftermarket gauges if you're after accuracy.

I have an Autometer Temp Guage laying around in the house after finding out that I have no block holes to put the Autometer sender in (as I own a 5M-E)... I have asked many times from people if there is a block/engine location to probe the engine bay but there isn't :( and adding holes to the radiator is not an alternative.

Cheers.

Take out the sender for the digi dash gauge and put the autometer sender in its place.

Is that possible to do that? just straight connect off the temp sensor so I can run 2?

[Ross]

Just get a T piece and run both sensors

my 85 5m-ge has a spare plug towards the firewall of thermostat housing
just under the dist. cap. it's an allen key recessed plug. i used this for my
autometer sender. you will need an adapter which came with the gauge
i'm sure there is also one on yours.it's hard to see if you remove the
rotor cap will make for easier install. believe me this gauge saved my engine as i would have overheated until my auto. gague rose over
220 and my analoge dash gauge showed normal
