I have the 3 guage pod, Picked it up from spmotorsports. Joes is a great guy, and also picked up some phanton electronic guages. Coolant Temp, oil temp, and oil pressure. Looks like the coolant temp and oil temp have the same sensor. I saw an excellent right up from kurt metros. He talks about using T's where the orginal is. Unfortunatly i dont have a manual. I need to get one at some point. I understand the wiring bit, but where are the sensors and where should they go. What have people done? I almost though of using the short oil coolant line that runs by the oil filter, and using a longer line and something in which i can ties the two oil sensors in there for pressure and temp. But not sure how accurate it be. Where is the coolant sensor located in our cars? By the thermostat? Any suggestions appreciated. How have opther people installed these? Thanks
Jeff.
P.s.Seems i use the forum enough i should probley put up a picture, and mods/signature or something.. Any instructions for it?

The temp gauge sender is located on the rad side of the thermostat. You can install a tee there and use both sensors. The oil pressure sender is located at the back of the engine block directly below the exhaust manifold. You can install a tee there and use the factory sender again for added protection. As far as the oil temp, it would be best to be installed in the oil pan. Just and idea but maybe you could get a new oil plug and then drill out the center and tap it for the sender. You will just have to unplug or unhook it when you change your oil.
