Ok this is driving me nuts. My new Father-in-Law is really getting into this DHRA so for Christmas he bought me a 3 gauges and the A-pillar. The only problem. He bought them from Hewitt Industries. I think they have bad customer service also. They came with no instructions and only came with the EGT Probe. I know what to do to hook all this up which I am going to do this weekend. But just wondering how did ya'll hook up your Trans Temp gauge? I talked to HI today and they said just put a wire on it. If I am going to hook this up I am going to do it right so that I don't have to mess with is. Also the T that you put into your MAP sensor were can I get one. Got the hose but all the auto parts stores are trying to piece things together to make it work. I have been dealing with alot of open mouth breathers . Help any advise will help. Look on a couple of different web sites on gauges and they will send you all the stuff you need you just have to buy the set from them. Don't need the set just the T the pressure hose, and the fuse assembly for the Trans sensor. Thanks for the help. Merry Christmas to all hope ya'll got good things.

Did you try your local garage? They might be able to help with finding and buying the individual pieces. Just a thought.

I checked with the one of the local aftermarket shops and they don't have any in stock. When they order their gauges it comes with all the parts that they need. I am going to check with some more places tomorrow. Also look some more on the net and see if I can find some on the net.

Thanks Stoker for the info page. That will come in handy. Along with the 12 of Shiner

Did you try autometers or summit racings website I believe you can download gauge instructions. As for my trans temp gauge I mounted the temp sensor in the trans pan and it is just a single wire that comes up to the gauge. (I did take the trans pan off the truck to mount the sensor) I know that autometer sells all the gauge connection pieces in kits for each gauge. (egt, trans, boost, feul pressure, etc) Good luck let us know how it goes!

If you cant find the 1/8th tee you can always drill and tap the "Y" pipe and thread in a brass fitting.

Thanks for the help. Called around and found the T that I was looking for and found the clip that I was looking to connect the Trans temp Gauge. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Just hope for nice weather this weekend.
