Help With Gauges!!
Hey guys,
So, I bought a set of generic Sun Pro gauges to basically fill up my CA triple pillar until I could pick up a set of 3 matching Auto Meter ones.. Getting tired of them not working and only being blanks.. Want to wire them.. There's a volt, oil pressure, and coolant temp.. The volt is obvious to wire, but how about the coolant temp and oil pressure..? Where do I run those to..? I think it's the coolant temp that has a thing already attached to the back that looks like it basically has a fat thermometer end on it that would seem to stick into the engine somewhere (ie, coolant), but where and how..? And what do I need to buy to do the oil pressure..? Where does it go into..? Any clues at all..? Any help would be super appreciated.. Would I basically end up using the same connections if I bought the same gauges in the Auto Meter ones..? I actually like how they look during the day, but they're not too bright at night since they're basic halogen lights instead of the nice LED read-outs.. Any help AT ALL would be awesome..
Thanks guys..

Found that for the coolant temp gauge.. But where are the coolant line things in the tb he speaks of..?
