For electrical oil pressure gauge you need an adapter that allows you to install the cowbell sender further from the block. Like LincolnMania said it is right next to your oil filter. Sorta crappy spot to work in.
For mechanical oil pressure gauge you use the same spot. May have to install just a line adapter then the actual connections for the gauge. Again...same shitty area to work in.
For water temp...look at the fromt right corner of your intake manifold. That is where you will install the capillary tube (if mechanical) or sender (if electric).

if its mechanical, do yourself a favor and securely route that line away from anything hot. Ideally you want copper line on the engine and behind the dash with something flexible in between to allow for engine movement. If the plastic line touches the exhaust it will dump a lot of oil out of the motor in a hurry, making one big ass mess in the process.

thanks for all the advice guys!!The oil gauge come with plastic line but I was going to use copper anyway because I don't trust that shit they give you! The temp gauge is another story, I have to find the right size adapter to fit the intake, the one on the capillary is to small and the other one is to big so I need to figure out the right size!!!
