Where to mount Aftermarket mechanical Temp Gauge sensor.
Have a Sun Pro Style Line mechanical temp gauge sitting in garage for a few years. Bought for another truck, now want to hook it up to my 85 F350 with 6.9L IHI. Where is the best place on 6.9L to install the temp sensor?- olddesertrat

Bike-maker: Please pardon my lack of lingo....what is rtv? Guessing it is something like silicone that dries and holds wires in place. Did remove sensor and sprayed off bottom with electric contact cleaner. Little bit of extremely fine metal powder did come off...however did not make...- olddesertrat

Background: Have a 1985 F350 with 6.9L IHI engine and manual tranny, 189,000 miles. Tachometer has been acting flaky since bought truck.

Changed IP, now have bad mileage, Please advise.
Icanfixall: The pump was from Pensacola Diesel few years ago. Was a on-line clearance sale, think $400, and no core required...that is why, thankfully, I still had my old pump. Thanks for recommendation for Conestoga Diesel. Had seen Moose pumps talked about...will look into them more...- olddesertrat

This is old pump put back on truck. Okay, this thread is almost done. Did what said I would do. 1. Ran timing on new pump at 2000 rpm. Result: Still 3 ATDC...no change from 1,400 rpm. 2. Replaced new pump with original pump. The picture above is old pump. Aligned two factory...- olddesertrat

Okay, got it now...all post talking about timing for 1400 is for luminosity probes and 2000 rpm is for induced pulse probe...which I am using. And also sorry about my dyslexic terms for timing. Correct, advancing IP timing MORE causes MORE BTDC degrees read while timing. Was thinking I...- olddesertrat

Hi Riotwarrior: Yeah know little confusing because was late getting photos posted. Check Post #41 above. The puddy on ruler and little probe described in post #29.

Okay, so that huge nut with two black wires on IP gear cover is my truck tach pick up. Guess it is magnetic pickup and somewhere on IP gear there is a magnet imbedded. Thanks for info TahoeTom. Will try removing and cleaning. If that does not work, maybe replace sensor.- olddesertrat
