Was OTIS, MA, now Snead Island, FL
I'm looking to add an Auto Meter water temp gauge 12v and was seeing if the stock sending unit (at the reservoir) would read correctly with the Auto Meter??
I want to wire it so both stock and Auto Meter work.
Adapters?
Thanks for the help.

I, don't think it will. The stock sender is set to activate the warning light at a certain temp, not to register a range of temps like your guage.
 
I don't know think splicing on the stock one would work, I think that one is just open or closed.

I got a fitting and spliced into the coolant line before the thermostat at the top of the engine.
