I did a search but didnt come up with exactly what I was looking for..

The gauges have 3 prongs on the back I know 1's for the ground im assuming the second's for the power source but on the temp where do I connect the 3rd....to the sender???

have fun with the water temp. it wont read off the stock sensor. at least i coudlnt make it. i had to ghetto rig a t fitting where the stock sensor is and put the autometer one there
on the volt one.. ground is ground..then i cant remeber if there is just a on which i did to the ignition.. or if there is a on then a power line for it to read. -=\

Thanks MyPFizzle... that's what I was trying to figure out..I think I remembered Pirana placing his next to the stock sensor also.. The Voltage gauge I think its just like you said ground is ground and then the power source....

As for the temp 210 WOW! that is hot...I wonder if there's a 170 deg. thermostat out there...If that was my 3rd gen rx7 it would have been TOASTY!!!!!!!!hahaha

Thanks
