Water temp is on the filler neck, oil pressure is on the driver side of the block... And you'll need to tap for the fuel pressure.



I recommend tapping a new sensor for the water temp, and using a oif filter pedestal adapter for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

hey base, you run into any problems with clearence using a pedestal oil press mount? the greddy one i have i just used to replce the leaking stock one. i now have a dead gague on the cluster which still scares me sometimes when i glance at it after not being in the car for a while. i dont have an air pump so my water temp is in the passenger side of the filler neck with an adapter

I still run the stock pedestal and Oil gauge.. I recomended the Greddy as I've seen some people try to splice the aftermarket gauge into the stock line and run 2 gauges from the same sender.. I'm not even sure if the stock sender will work with an aftermarket gauge... but it might by itself..

Where is the Filler neck on the engine, and where about on the driver side is the oil pressure sensor?

filler neck is right on top of the water pump, to the left of the air pump, and has a cap on top of it... you'll see a wire that is plugged into the front of the neck

Towards the back, under the oil filter. Looks like a small can bolter to the side of the motor..

I **think** that is the oil level sensor.
