when i did that the oil presure is sky high when its not even running but rises more when its running so it kinda works and the temp does not work at all with the ford sensor took the fan belt off and made sure it was definitly hot and the factory gauge dident move but moves when the wire is shorted so the sensor on the ford is fucked or is totaly the wrong resistance like the oil presure. i will make an adaptor to run the toy oil presure sensor off the ford and probly do the same for temp

I'm only guessing here but most of the kits sold by Marks Adaptors would be made by someone else somewhere else or do they have there own manufacturing facility?

Either way it doesn't matter, the seller with their name on their product is responsible for quality assurance to their customers.

Companies like ARB who do tons of R&D before they make a product and have tight quality assurance procedures in place seem to get it right even though a lot of their products are now made overseas.

I've heard about lots of misalignment problems with aftermarket castings and machining and not just with Marks Adaptors. In my experience most problems occur where the manufacturing is outsourced to other companies.

Surely this country has the people with the skills, care and pride in their work to produce quality products that fit! WTF is going on?
