Looking at the back of the CJ PTT Lights is an enclosed module. Looks like a bit more complicated than re-hooking up a few wires and adding a power wire. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:30:33 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: JPI Fuel flow gage install From: Greg Wrobel Has anyone installed the JPI Fuel Flow Gage on a CJ6? I would think it would go between the fuel pump and carburetor but that gets a littler crazy trying to go from the CJ fittings to the standard pipe thread on the JPI. Another thought is to come from the fuel filter as I was told that unit uses the pipe thread. Any thoughts, pictures, parts lists or someone who has installed this system that could provide some insight.

I have replaced all of these lamps (with two exceptions) with standard MS PTT indicator lamps. The exceptions are: 1. Landing gear position indicators. These are not individual lamps and a PTT circuit and button has been incorporated to test all 6 lamps in each box. 2. Low fuel indicators. The circuit design is not conducive to replacement with the MS PTT lamp. The lamps are energized by a switch in each fuel tank unit that connects the circuit to ground. I simply added an additional ground circuit through a DPDT, momentary contact switch which allows testing of front and rear, left or right.

When installing the DPDT momentary switch, I assume you spiced into the ground circuit coming from the tank at each set of lights?
