Default Gauge install HELP!!

Okay, I know where and what to do with the pyro and fuel pressure gauges, but what about the oil and coolant temp? For oil temp I read about drilling a hole in the oil pan, but isn't there a better/easier way like in the return line or something on that order? For coolant temp, where would be the best place for that? Thanks in advance!!

Thank you, I did see this before and it did help with the pyrometer. I wish they would have something like this for the engine oil and coolant temp though.

Well then I would just save yourself a. Lot of troubble and wait untill you install a coolant filter before you hook it up if not I rink the only way is to drill and tap the t stat housing or you can put it in the driver side block drain but you will need a addapter.

Yeah I'd put it right in the block. What gauges did you get? My EV2's came with a bunch of different adapters to make it work. Haven't checked to see if there is one that will fit in the block yet, but I'd imagine it will.
