These are available from Summit Racing as PN SWW-114875. There is only one sensor you could possibly share with a monitor (inlet air temp) and I would not recommend sharing that one.

Tracy,
Will this sending unit calibrate the same as the original unit you supplied with the EM-2? I tried to install another VDO sending unit after I was told they leak because the one you had supplied has never leaked. The damn thing immediately leaked!
