Help! Ford 240 I6
Hay all! I have recently started some restorations on my 68 F100. One of the first things I wan't to do is get the gauges working, as the truck is my daily and I want' to make sure everything is in order while driving. For the life of me I can't seem to be able to find the Temperature sending unit or oil pressure? Any help on identifying these would be greatly appreciated!

Oil pressure is on driver side rear of engine near steering rag joint. should have a wire coming off it
Temp sending is on pass side back, somewhat hard to see one wire also, it think
My truck is in another location so i cant take pict right now.

temp sender right side kind of under the manifold towards the firewall.
like ben said oil sender left side easy to locate. if you remove the temp sender it will dump a lot of coolant if you don't drain the radiator some

Thanks! I think someone at some time plugged the original temp sensor hole and mounted one @ the thermostat housing. Nothing that looks like a sending unit in the locations stated but I do see a plug inline around the therm housing. No wires unfortunately. Any of you seen a repair manual for the I6 Ford's?

Thanks Jeff! I have been looking for good service manuals and these sound like they will come in really handy! ! I have managed to find the temperature sending unit as well as a wire that was dangling. Once I plugged it in, I got temp reading!
