Default Question... water temp gauge -- sensor install >>

Just checking... will this work, screwing into the adaptor, and then connect the wires to my gauge?

If so, then why does this look different?

Default In pic #2 you must provide a ground....>>

Through the adapter body, but it looks like it's bolted to metal? Regardless, if your sensor has a Hot and Ground lead you should be good to go..

Default So...

If I do what's in pic #1, then am I right that the black ground wire is grounded since the adaptor is bolted in like this?

Default I think you'll have to provide the ground to the black wire Vince...>>

Depends on what your Gauge wiring diagram shows you as to whether it can be done at the adapter block, or run back to the gauge......
