RE: H2O temp. sender for urq?

["Joe Goeke" <joe_goeke@hotmail.com>]

Yes the regular coupe or 4000 water temp gauge bolts right into the dash in
place of the urq boost gauge.  The beauty is, you don't even have to do any
wiring.  The gauge makes contact with the flex circuit strip with is from
the regular coupe.  The temp sensor on the engine is also from the coupe or
4000.  It replaces the one the urq uses for the worthless temp idiot light
;-).  As I recall, this sensor is at the back of the head near the firewall,
and is in the normal location that it would be on a regular coupe/4000.
