          i believe water temp sensor is on the engine block right where the upper radiator hose comes out. should be a plug there. oil pressure u gotta do some piping work where ur oil pressure sensor is (near oil filter). for me i got an adapter off ebay that goes b/w the oil filter and the engine block and hooked up my sensor there. its not an accurate way but my gauges moves haha. before it used to just sit at 100+ psi.

            the water temp sensor its on the side of the block under the distributor. its a small sensor. be carefull not to fuck up the plastic cover. mine got all fucked up when i took the head off....
            so those gauges are mechanical?????????
            u should have goten the electronic ones so u just do some taping into the wires and u are good to go.....

              from the look of it, i'm pretty sure those gauges are mechanical. he's gonna have to invest more $$$ for steel-braided lines since he's gonna have the coolant, and oil running thru the firewall and wherever he mounts these gauges inside the cabin.

                well , yeh there mechanical oh well


                im making a mount under my cd player... its almost done...




                its not quite finished but what i did is used a spare compartment for under the stock stereo's and retrofitted the guage's in there... then made a face plate..

                in my instructions for the temp.. it said to tap into the block... Is that safe?
