I want a set of 3 gauges I can use to monitor oil pressure, water temperature, and volts (or amps) — under the hood initially to verify the new engine build, then install under dash afterwards.
My F engine build has new 1968-correct electric sending units (per SOR) for water temp and oil pressure. Remanufactured ‘new’ 45 amp alternator and new OEM Toyota external voltage regulator on the sparky side.
Almost all the aftermarket electric triple gauge sets I find come with their own water and oil sending units (with NPT thread adapters which I believe are not compatible with my F head anyway).
I’m not convinced all oil pressure and water temp senders are the same. Not sure output voltage ranges are the same, etc.
I want to use my new, already installed, FJ-specific oil pressure and water temp senders. Can someone recommend a known reliable triple gauge set that will operate reliably using the stock F engine electric oil and water sending units?
Just a known quality 2” gauge supplier that will work with the OEM senders?
I’d love to hear from someone who has sorted out aux 3 gage set using the OEM sensors. (Either ammeter or voltmeter OK for my charging info.)
Thanks for any thoughts…
