I followed the instructions to a T (16 gauge wire to sender, 14g ground) and a fused power source. The only thing I didn't do is use a dedicated ground, so I'll have to check on that.

I have oil temp on the drivers side, oil pressure on the passengers as I'd assume you guys do also.

My car has always run hot and I'm not sure why, but its also a base car with a 3.2, so maybe a bit less cooling capacity.

Can someone postulate as to what the unmarked lines on the gauges indicate. The one after 200 seems like 210 to me (what my car runs on the street), then 240?

What sender are you using? I grounded mine at the ground in the auxiliary plug. I just tapped power and ground into that plug. It would be VERY cool to be able to find the male side of that particular plug and make a custom harness.

I used the 996 sender. My gauge operates similarly to the others, almost like a tach. If you used the 996 sender, is it possible you swapped the leads? Not sure if that would make a difference or not, but maybe?
