hello all.
this is my third post here - please excuse me if this topic has been covered before.

but I would verry much like to hook up a tach and a oil psi guage to my car - as ive always had those two guages in all of my viechles - it comforts me to always be able to monitor those two for something wrong while tooling down the road.

so I have to ask - what are the correct guages for my aplication ?
and how do they hook up ?

id imagine that there is a oil plug somewhere on the engine that I would need to take out and replace with the hook up for the oil psi guage and run that in to the cab of the car - but im clueless as to where the tach would hook up to in a slant 6 motor. if it helps right now im still running the stock points on the car and distributor -

any advice or links to parts I need for this is tremendusly helpful to me.
thanks in advance.

Green wire goes to points side of coil, put a T fitting behind oil pressure sender unit.

brian72valiant,

I hooked mine up the same as Fopar. I like running a large tach and a large faced oil gauge for good visibility. Look right under the oil filter for the sender and install a "T" fitting or just eliminate the idiot light. The tach runs right off the coil.
Another useful item is a vacuum gauge. I "T" of the choke unloader or the snorkel diverter line.

super good info guys.
this seems eazier than I thought.

when I put a tach on my old harley I had to use a gear driven piece off of the cam.... so that was infinately harder to hook up than this will be. haha.

thanks again. im gona get on this right away
