Can you guys post some pictures of how and where you ran your sending units for oil and temp? I know it has been talked about but im more of a visual person.

Hi,

Are you talking about on the engine or into the car from the engine bay?

There is a round grommet on the driver side firewall, up top size of a 1/2 dollar. I don't have a pic ready but you cant miss it. From there just down over the steering, run them thru over to the console, staying clear or moving parts. The oil line may have to be loped a bit as it is pretty long in my car. I look for some pics.

I made a tee. I'm running an oil temp gauge and a mechanical oil pressure gauge.

Oil pressure and water temp using '69 Barracuda factory senders to stock gauges. This is a 6.1 Hemi.

I have a oil pressure sensor near the oil filter adapter, on the side of the block [no cooler] and a temp sensor right above it. My water temp for the gauge is in a hole that I made, just above the thermostat housing.

You can just see the water temp in front of the throttle body [sorta]

I use an Autometer electric oil pressure gauge with a mechanical sender unit.
I also run a remote oil filter. I had to relocate the sender from the stock location to the remote hoses because the vibration off the engine would kill the sender about every 6-9 months. (solid steel motor mounts) if you look in the upper right corner of the photo you can just see the water temp sender in the stock location on the block.
