Mr. Squire

Appreciate the advice, No-one here running a gauge from their sump on a pinto?

More than what is recommend in the instructions is exposed to the oil

Yes if i fully earth it out it goes to full sweep

Also i run a fairly large oil filter ( from a 4L Falcon) Click here to see photo!

I have a electric Oil Temp gauge on my 205 Pinto, it is in the sump. This is the temp it stays steady at after about 20mins of driving or longer. If i really push the motor i can get it up to 70ish Celesis but quickly falls back to the shown temp, I think this reading to quite low? New 20w-50 oil with Zinc additive, 18degrees days here in New Zealand Thanks in advance team

Have just confirmed, it is 1/8 NPT

Can any legend confirm what the thread is on this?

Thank you very much for confirming Mr. Part

Brought a electric water temp gauge, just curious where would be best place to fit? Can anyone confirm where the factory on is? is it top left side when looking at intake side? Thanks from New Zealand in advance

"As long as the french don't win" we say here in New Zealand. Was some cracker games, Eng vs Fra for example. New Zealand rugby is not look very strong currently so interesting times ahead. Do you suspect my oil pressure is a tad on the high side?

I would have thought that 10psi would be far too low?

Thanks for all the replys guys! Thanks from New Zealand! Here is my oil pressure on the 205 at steady idle. Would you say this is in the good range? Everyone happy with 6 nations result?

Thank you for your kind words my friend, Yes i had painted a number of years ago, Same colour as the Bullit Anniversary Mustang, Still many MK2 Escorts here in New Zealand, mine is a New Zealand made one, easy to work on, cheap parts etc

Thank you for your reply Mr. Foz, I see here in New Zealand we have VDO Gauges. https://www.repco.co.nz/globes-batteries-electrical/electrical-accessories/gauges/vdo-pressure-gauge-electric-12v-0-1000-kpa-350010017/p/A1195484 Will try and find the sender https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009RUY14/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Im tempted to buy as comes with senders, but would have to look at piggy-backing the factory light switch down the line

Greeting from New Zealand! First time poster, long time listener. i have a MK2 escort which i think about time has a Oil Pressure gauge for the mighty Pinto, Which would be easiest to install? Mech or Electric? Thanks in advice time
