How to install Mechanical Gauges by Autometer, Part 1 - Water Temperature

It's time to install Mechanical Gauges, because I'm sick of troubleshooting my sending units, and I want the true value. Before proceeding, please watch the last video of the series where I convert my fuel pressure gauge to a digital stepper motor, here; https://youtu.be/G8tvOfbVqp8?si=PY1vRKW34-VPR_VD

In this episode, "How to install Mechanical Gauges by Autometer, Part 1", we review the three different types of gauges (Mechanical, Air Core, and Digital Stepper Motor with Solid state sending unit) We also need to determine where to mount our gauges, and color match that mounting panel. Enjoy!
