ten four. i was originally looking at the sunpros black faced oil pres and water temp they were both mechanical tho. so in this case let me ask you what you would do. would u find an electrical water temp or would u use the sunpro mechanical water temp gauge?

Hmmmm...Not totally sure on that one to be honest...I'd imagine it has a T, or a probe of sorts to be able to read the temps....IIRC, it is T'ed into the Radiator hose....Don't hold me to that, but that would make perfect sense, especially it had a thermostat style probe built into the T....
Have to take a raincheck on that one...
