Temp and Pressure Gauge

[mchristo63]

I want to install a TEMP and PRESSURE guage for my 1984 Mercury 35HP engine (#6579602). I see there is a threaded brass plug in the cover that I call the water jacket (spark plug area). Can this be used for either the TEMP or PRESSURE sensor? If it is used for the pressure, where can I install the TEMP sensor, or visa versa? <br /><br />Thanks

It's for water pressure, some gauge manufactures make a sender that simple attachs to the block and some blocks have a plug in the top as well as the filler block cover. I have seen others drilled I don't have the guts for that myself

Yep, that's called a pipe plug on your motor... It's a two cylinder correct? You could install either a sensor to read water temp (if it fits) But it will work better for water pressure fitting at that spot... <br /><br />Metal is very close and give you readings on temps that are hard to make any meaning out of...
