Hello all, Today I ordered the VDO 2-1/16" oil temp gauge, the sump plate sending unit, and the wiring harness. I have about 1000 miles to go until my next oil change so I will install it then. Oh yeah, before I forget: Please, if you're gonna reply to this, reply to s_bartnik@wow.com and not the address I'm mailing it from. Now, as I said before, I will be installing the gauge in the dummy plate next to the speedometer in my '78 bus. Someone said that I could get a hole drill bit to drill the hole for the gauge. I've never heard of this, but I'm new to drilling :) , so would sears have this? Any tricks I need to know? If I run into any difficulty with installation, I will be counting on you. If anyone has done this procedure, I would appreciate if it you'd send a procedure to me at the above address so I can study ahead. Many thanks everybody. I have a bad feeling though that this gauge is going to tell me something I'd rather not know. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, until you have to buy a new engine :) . Actually, I think my bus seems to be running cooler than before, especially since my engine compartment is much more sealed than it used to be. We'll see, I guess. Sean
