That's how the water temp gauge was added to my car. After putting up for years with requiring a bypass to avoid a 4000 rpm cutoff, I discovered that the temp sender tap was the problem. I disconnected the gauge from the sender, and it pulls better with no 4000 rpm problem. I plan to use a tee (I know, I know - don't use tees with temp senders) on the back of the engine where you will find 2 other water temp senders. One is a thermotime switch; the other is the dual low temp/high temp switch. If you can, use the abt panel which will accept 3 additional gauges. If not, there are several ways to add gauges to the diff lock switch panel. > >2) Anyone know the towing capacity of a V8 Q. I know a guy towing a Miata >on a trailer behind a 200TQ.
