What are the best spots to hook up separate Engine Oil Temp. and Water Temp. guages. Please send some pictures if possible.
Thanks

ECT goes in the port on the side of the water pump. I think the concensus on EOT is to Tee into the factory spot on the high pressure oil reservoir.

Another option for EOT is a port on the side of the oil filter head.

Thanks for bringing that up Jeremy. I thought I read somewhere that the filter head wasn't as accurate...but that may have been as a pressure tap. Have you had any issues using this location for temp?

I sure could use some pictures of where to hook these gauges up.

Thanks

Scott, I don't actually use that one for temp. My temp sensor is in a bung I had welded into the back of the HPOP res. I do use a location near that for my lower end oil pressure though. johnsjsj, if you click on the "My Pics" link, it will take you to my webshots, where you'll find my "Gauges" gallery. I have pics in there of where I hooked up all of my gauges.
