Question on guage wiring

OK, on the small blocks, the oil sender is back by the distributor. If you want to keep the original oil sender, you'll have to go to the parts store and get a tee and fittings, known as 1/8" pipe to hook both up.

Do we understand your new temp gauge is mechanical? If so, that's a little complicated. You just about have to put a short tee in place of the heater hose fitting to install the new mechanical gauge. Your temp gauge sender is up on the front of the intake manifold, just about the only thing up there with a wire hooked to it.

You have a shop manual?
