I think the two prong unit runs the idiot light on the 80's 350's.
Rootbeer,
thanks for the info. I got to thinking, wouldnt the pressure read the same at both the dummy location and the gauge sending location??? My dad has a 305 and he has his gauge line ran to the location on top, next to the distributor and his guage works fine. The sending unit that came with my gauge set is HUGE, so I think that I will run mine down by the filter to help hide it and hope that works. thanks again!!!!
