For the Water Temp gauge, I used the port just below the T-stat housing on the waterpump - it points to the driver's side. It's a pipe plug IIRC. The voltage gauge I just found a key-on 12volt source. In my case, behind the passenger side kick panel, there is a large plug for the overhead console that had a key-on wire. Both work just fine.

Oil pressure gauge sensor goes in a port in the rear-driver's side of the block. Kind of up where the trans bell housing bolts up. I'll see if I can find a pic...

EDIT: Here you go. It's the rectangular plug in the bottom of the pic.
