Is there some other kind of sensor or better location for current sensors?
Thanks!
Because of harsh track conditions it's not uncommon for a dirtcar to lose coolant and "melt-down" without the temp gage catching the problem. We run a water pressure switch to a light on the dash. In the event that you lose coolant and the temp sender can not read actual temp, you will be warned of the pressure loss. Longacre has the kit.
