Default Water Temp. Gauge

Having trouble installing my water temp. gauge it is an Autometer Sport Comp 140-280' gauge. What i thought was the sending unit to the stock gauge did not fit the Autometer gauge at all. Any tips on how to solve my problem would be helpful.

you will need the correct pipe fittings,get them from home depot.one to fit the intake and another so the temp sensor will fit into it.

If its a mech. gauge, you will need a 3/8ths fitting to screw into the lower manifold, ( the gauge comes with 1/2" I think) then you'll be all set. If you need part numbers for any of the fittings let me know, I have em all handy somewhere. PM if need be.
