Warning light package for road racers and autox'ers.

I'm about 80% finished with installing this setup.

All the lights are from Longacre and come with all the sending units. Got mine from www.racerpartswholesale.com here in Indianapolis. I'll be doing a full writeup on it when I'm all done with it. I made the housing out of aluminum and it fits in the center vent spot.

From left. 230 degree warning light, goes off at 210. 270 degree oil temp light, goes back off at 230 I'm told. 20psi oil pressure light.

They've got different temps, pressures, and probe sizes for most of these. Hopefully for the small investment in these (less than $100 for all 3) they'll prove useful and may even save me an engine.

Nice!! I like that though my dash will no longer be of use next year if I keep my car.

Well the cool thing is it can be mounted anywhere. The lights are about 3/4" or so and the orange and red are bright enough to see clearly during the day. The blue's light cover is too dark though and makes it hard to see unless its dusk or later. I think I could improve it by switching out the wedge bulb for an led style wedge bulb, in fact I may do that with all 3 once I get the time.

Very cool - can't wait to see the write-up. I just may have to do something like that.

Here's the list of parts at racer parts wholesale

One word of warning the oil temp sendor is really thin walled and I snapped mine by overtorquing it. Luckily this happened inside the npt to bpt adapter and not the actual engine. I have to order up the almost $20 temp sender again before I can finish the install.

Heads up before I finish the writeup, with my setup I'll no longer have the stock guage or light operational and the pressure light is fed with an old -4 an turbo feed line from the oil filter housing as my turbo is now fed from the cylinder head again. I've also lost that little vacuum fitting on the coolant neck for the coolant temp light.
