Adding some mechanical guages

I'm adding three gauges, all mechanical, Oil, Air PSI (onboard air) and Volts (dual batteries conversion). Curious where the oil sending unit is, or other oil ports I can tap off of?

Thanks

I dont know for certain but I dont believe you can run a mechanical oil press gauge off of the factory electronic sending unit. I would think it needs its own oil gally port in the block and so far as batteries are concerned once tied together they will give the same volt reading regardless untill you seperate them unless you run a dual batt isolation block thingy lol
