I am adding a fuel & oil presure, and water temp gauges. Where is the best place to make place the senders? Fuel I belive the front of the filter housing has a test port, but the others I have no idea. Pics are worth a thousand words.

I read somewhere that the block plug was not an accurate place to get coolant temps from? The oil pressure on the top of the filter cap, I have seen this but was hoping for a plug somewhere?

I think I am going to use the block plug for water temp, to start out with, and see how it acts. From what I read I will get some high spikes. Just have to wait and see I guess.

The oil pressure sender I see two options from what I read, one is what you did (seems to be the most popular) or putting a T fitting in where the stock pressure sender is, next to the oil filter.
