Single wire to factory harness behind the AC bracket. The green one is also usable for aftermarket
temp gauge if you want.
temp gauge if you want.
If you want also to use the factory oil pressure sender you can add an aftermarket electrical or mechanical gauge there as well. FYI, the starter is right below that oil sender, but my experience is removal is done from below so no concerns with interference. Starter comes out really easily. This engine is a breeze to service
Do you have pictures of the coolant drain under the turbo?
That factory threaded fitting is a royal messy pain in the arse. I replaced it with a valve
tap like on a radiator so I can slip a hose over it to drain the coolant from the block.
I‘d recommend dealing with that now before it’s all assembled. Its a regular thing to drain coolant
and this alleviates that mess of spraying coolant all over the side of the motor and down across
leaf springs. Just my own advice. Just make sure the tap has room to turn. Mine is a close
thing.
