Oil Pressure and Water Temp Gauge help please.

I just got my Oil Pressure Guage and Water Temp gauge from Autometer. I am in need of some help wiring it up. I know where to wire the light source, but need to know where to tap for the water temp gauge and what/where to I put the Oil Pressure switch that came with the Oil Pressure gauge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics and writeups would be awesome.

Please help me out guys...

Thanks,

-Nick

I went to the input for the OEM water gauge for MY water temp gauge. But that was just ME. And since you have a 4th gen and I've got a 3rd gen, the wiring might be different. But if you need to know the wiring colors, I can look it up, I guess...

Seems like people don't want to share that info. I was in your shoes before.

Oil pressure. Use OEM oil pressure sender hole. You will need an adaptor from autometer to convert it from BSPT to 1/8 NPT.

Water temp. Either use a hose tee or drill a hole in the oem water neck. To find the OEM water neck, just follow the upper radiator hose towards the engine.

If I do that, what happens to the OEM oil pressure switch? Do I take it out or what? 1MAX2NV- do you by any chance have some pics of your setup, how it's wired. Please help me out.
Thanks,
