Water Temp & Oil Pressure Sending Unit Locations?

[Dr. Paul]

Can somebody tell me where the easiest places to attach these two mechanical gauges on these crazy DOHC motors? Damn these things are behemoths.

1. Water temp sending unit
2. Tee for oil pressure line


A thousand thank yous fine sirs.

Paul.

Easiest way to do the temp sensor is to install a metal splice already threaded in 3/8 NPT (your typical water temp sensor thread) into your upper radiator hose.

For oil pressure, just tee it off from the OEM oil pressure sensor location. Get a new OEM sensor and check the threads. Buy brass pipe in the same thread and make yourself a tee. I did that with my Dodges, and it worked out great.

On my Mark, I have a remote oil filter system, so my pressure gauge sensor just ended up there.

So there's no point in the intake manifold anywhere where the temp sending unit can be attached?

Also, where's the OEM oil pressure sensor location on this thing?
