Frank .... I have the SC competition dash . Just went to the garage and checked and is angled with the bottom out further than the top . I assume for visibility as the gauges would be hard to read with a vertical dash .
Also looked at my gauges .... I have the water temp. on the left and the
oil temp on the right , viewed from the driver seat . Checked with ERA when I did the install and was told to run the water temp. sensor line from left to right behind the dash and out the hole to the right of the dash mounted starter solenoid ( viewed from the front of the car ) , down the bottom of the right valve cover and then across the front of the manifold to the hole on the manifold . The
oil temp. sensor line went from right to left behind the dash and out the hole below the fuse blocks , then down the back of the block , along the
oil pan and then to the sump .... I have an Aviaid sump .
Hope this helps .... and is correct !! I also sent you pictures of the trunck and hood weatherstripping separately.
Have fun !
Bob
