My New Gauges Installed with Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Too a bit of McGivering to get it all in but they do work. It's the first time I've put these in. I kept the stock oil pressure switch for idiot lights which is why I needed to tee off from the original location. I still don't like where the temperature sender is (in the water outlet) but I can't find anywhere else to stick it.

Gauge pictures were taken at idle showing about 25PSI oil pressure, 14.5V and 190 F after about a 15minute drive. During normal driving, volts were the same but oil pressure was around 40-45 and temperature around 160F.

If you spot anything you don't like let me know

When I had it all apart, I noticed a weird port coming off right behind where the oil pressure switch was located. Any idea what it is?
