    Autometer gauges and Coyote

    Has anyone used the Autometer gauges with the Coyote/TKO600 setup? I’m having difficulty finding any directions other than the FFR ones related to a 96-04 Mustang. I need to figure up where to hook up senders for electric speedometer, tach, oil temp and pressure, and water temp. Maybe it is similar to the traditional gauges and it will sort itself out but any help would be appreciated.
    MkIV complete kit #9259, Coyote, TKO600, IRS, Wilwoods x 4, many parts from Breeze, Forte, Russ's Garage and North Racecars
    17" Bullit style wheels, custom Kirkey seats, mid shift conversion, drop trunk, KRC power steering, Forte Hyd. clutch and slave, manual brakes
    overall build plan: build it to drive, not polish and black it out wherever possible, paint will be some shade of dark cherry

    They are pretty similar to the Speedhut gauges, with one exception.

    electric speedometer = speedo signal connections from the RF harness that are connected to the TKO sensor on the PS
    oil temp = added sending unit in bung in the oil pan
    oil pressure = added sending unit in side of block by oil filter, per FF Coyote instructions
    water temp = added sending unit also in the vicinity of the oil fliter, per FF Coyote instructions
    tach = that's the hard one. The 2015+ Gen 2 Coyote controls pack (assuming that's what you have?) doesn't have a tach signal. Ford kind of missed that one... For the Autometer tach, you need to get an Autometer tach adapter and hook it up per their instructions. You will have to break into the engine harness. Speedhut is the same way (e.g. break into the harness) just doesn't require the tach adapter.
