I recommend electronic gauges. That way you don't have to run water and oil lines inside the car to the gauges. You still have to hookup the wiring from the sensors/senders to the gauges though.


Sender for the water temp gauge
---------------------------------------

1. Drill and tap the water neck that bolts onto the right side of the cylinder head.

2. Install the sender and wire it to the gauge.


Sender for oil pressure gauge
------------------------------------

You'll have to get the correct fittings and tie it all together with the stock oil pressure switch.

You can also get rid of the stock oil pressure switch, but the light (low oil pressure) on the dash will come on. If you choose to do it this way, you need the correct adapter. Something like male BSPT to female 1/8" NPT.


Most of the senders with aftermarket gauges (Autometer) are 1/8" NPT. Check your senders to make sure.
