Where is the location for the oil pressure sender and the Coolant temp sensor for the gauges. I want to add mechanical gauges but not interfere with the ECM sensors, just the gauges.
I f I am not mistaken, the sending unit for the gauge for water temp is located on the thermostat housing very close to the bleeder valve. The one the ECM uses in located on the PS of the intake manifold using a small pipe connected to the heater hoses.
The Oil Pressure sending unit is located down on the front cover behind the PS bracket. Pretty much just look at the water temp sending unit and keep looking down on the front cover and you will see another sending unit. That is for Oil Pressure gauge and Check Engine light. You will have to run a Tee fitting setup to keep the Factory one, then add your mechanical gauge or jumper wires so the Oil Pressure light doesn't come on in the dash.
I would also think twice about running a mechanical oil pressure into the drivers compartment. If you get an oil leak in the gauge or the platic line breaks inside the car you will have possibly very hot oil getting into the interior of the car. Go with an electronic one for some safety.

Is it the two wire at the heater hose nipple or the one wire in the heater pipe?
