David; Here is how I did it. If memory serves me I bought everything at PEP BOYS, which was two metric-to-standard converters and a remote oil pressure gauge installation kit. The kind with ten feet of tiny flexible hose. This allowed me to install the senders on the wall near the coil. I attached the senders with a "C" clamp (like the ones used to attach TV antennas to poles). There were already two predrilled holes there that lined up perfectly. I believe there is a picture on my web page. Latter on I added a common plumbing tee for the original sender. The pressure switch in the sender closes at a higher pressure so I was getting worrysome allarms. Now the extra pressure switch is hooked up to an LED next to the gauges as a sort of early warning device. The gauges reside in the plastic console just behind and above the shift boot.
