I repalce the pressure sender switch between the pushrods with a fitting and steel brake tubing. I run the tube in front of the engine and to the top by the intale manifold. I then use two hose clamps to mount the VDO sender to the manifold so vibration does not break the tube. For the temp sender, I repalce the Oil relief plug with a sending plug available from VDO. Ohter option is to drill and tap this plug and mount the sender in the existing. Use the 18-27 pipe thread fitting for this option. Dennis H.
