Default i got new gauges

for my 2001 ford f650 equiped with a 5.9 cummins i got from kenny the price guy an oil pressure, trans temp, fuel pressure, and a pyro with a four pod bezel

the oil pressure gauge should be straight foward as there is the plug on the filter adapter
any tips for the rest?..ill have to post on the chevy forum for the allison trans model 2000 unless somebody has a suggestion here..maybe a plug other then the drain?
the fuel pressure gauge im hoping has a plug i can tap into some where..the pyro i have to search if they left a plug handy..if not tap a hole?..thanks in advance guys and gurls!

Someone else feel free to correct me but the fuel pressure should be at the ip or after the filter, my edge used a new fitting replacing the banjo bolt on the top of the filter housing that plugged into the gauge set on my jwa. The pyro do on the exhuast manifold on the hump closer to the firewall, this needs to be drilled and tapped. Trans temp id do on the pan. The fuel pressure gauge may be different than mine if its meant to go inline with a fuel line.

ok so im pretty happy with the install..tapped the banjo bolt on the fuel filter housing for fuel gauge and found a test port on the trans right at the out line to the rad for the temp probe and installed the pyro prob on the manifold pre turbo and the oil went into the plug on the oil filter adapter

so i got 1300 F on the pyro at full load going 50 mph up an 8% grade..is that ok??..the pyro on my 7.3 PSD may get to 1000 but post turbo

my fuel pressure at full load (same as above) goes to only 6 psi..should i be concerned?..normally its at 10 psi at normal speed/load

trans get to about 140F..oils 35psi (hot)-75 PSI
