There are two types of water temp gauges, the electric which uses an electric sensor, connected by wire to the gauge, and the capillery gauge which uses a sensor bulb connected to the gauge by a tube. The disadvantage of the electric gauge is that it needs a voltage stabilizer and the disadvantage of the other type is that the capillery is fragile and needs careful handling and routing. If you decide that you also want an oil pressure gauge then you can buy separate gauges or a combined oil pressure/water temp (capillery) gauge.
To fit a temp gauge to a 948 engine you will need a thermostat housing with the correct fitting as there is nowhere on the cylinder head of the smaller engines to fit the sensor. You will also need a mounting plate for the gauges.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Fit the capilliary as it will give a reading without the ign. on. IMPORTANT: DO NOT bend the wire at right angles!

P.S. Check my posts for 'Fitting temp gauge to 803' for some excellent advice from other members. I am also going to make a youtube video of the fitment so other classic car fans can see how it's done.
