Guest warlord Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 got a set of clock for my mfi cab andnow found out throughforum that the temp and fuel guages are in the wrong place,all the guages work but not giving accurate reading as they temp guage goes all the way up to hot when engine has been run for weeks and the fuel guage is at half and know theres only little go go juice in her.does anybody know if its poss to wire these up to the mfi loom and if so has anybody got a diagram or instruction list as going out in it at the weekend and don't want to run out of juice or worse still it overheats without me knowing and knackers the engine up as its sweet running now i've overhauled it thanks in advance to anybody that can poss help,all help is gratefully recieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 HI.look i to need to no which wires goes where (MFI TO EFI CLOCKS)whot a load of bollocks in here not one f@@kin helped. and i'm sorry to say with that type of attitude you won't get much help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sandman2209 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 with an attitude like that young man you can ram it if people can help they will help but unfortunately if no one has posted a reply don't that mean something ?

iansoutham Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Okay, I am going to attempt to help, regardless of the "attitude" displayed. There is no such thing as "MFI" or "EFI" clocks as such. The fuel and temp gauges were swapped in 1988. If you have small square warning lamps (handbrake, battery, oil, etc) then the fuel gauge should be on the right. These are pre-1988 clocks. If you have oblong warning lamps, the temp gauge is on the right. These are post-1988 clocks. If you have post-1988 clocks, then the sender in the tank is different as the later models have a "continuous" fuel reading. Use late clocks with an early sender unit and you have a fuel gauge that does what it wants when the fuel level gets below 3/4 tank. The only difference between ALL sets of high-spec clocks is the rev counter. The various models are: CVH (non-EFI). Standard 4-pulse rev counter CVH (EFI). Reads 2-pulses as it works with a coilpack for wasted spark. When used on a non-coilpack car, the revcounter will read half revs. Valencia (same as EFI but with lower redline) Diesel (can run on any version but the takeoff wire (green) needs to go to the "W" terminal on the alternator as the revcounter reads a 7V single-phase voltage, not standard 12V. Basically, it sounds like you need to go back and look @ what year-range components you have fitted. As far as the temp gauge issues go, you probably have the wrong sender fitted and the other clocks have "masked" the problem. You should have a green-topped sender.
