I tried to hook it up directly to the engine but couldn't find the right adapter. The only sandwich adapter that you will want is the one with all 1/8" NPT ports. Most of them come with oil cooler ports that you will have to block off and 1 NPT.
The sleeve in the stock mount stays in there and it has a 22mm x 1.5 thread. The sandwich sleeve takes a 26MM or 1" socket. The sender has a 1/8" NPT, most do.
Run 8' of wire up through the firewall from the sender. Pry the center out of the large grommet on the far left, take a sharp punch with grease also and poke a hole in the rubber membrane behind it. Tape the wire onto a clothes hanger and push it through the hole.
Find a fuse in the box by the passengers right foot that is hot when the key is on, cram a wire in next to it (no need to buy special piggyback fuses), and run the wire to the driver side.
The gauge light only lights when the key is on.(that fitting is the one that didn't work originally and not part of this)
Trace around the bottom of the plastic dash cover at the bottom so you can locate the gauge mounting area. I used self tapping screws here.
It works fine and there is plenty of leg room plus the original one still works and it is inconspicuous . I could only load 5 files here which jumbled up the whole thread but they are all in now. The one with a bunch of fittings was part of my first attempt.
