after market gauges

[Terbronco7]

Wanting to install a 3 gauge set on my 71 in place of the dummy lights, questions are is there anywhere besides by the distributor to put the oil pressure line? Also how about the Temp gauge? Is there anywhere on the intake to install it, I have had others that went right by the water neck but my factory sending unit is by the 1 and 3 spark plugs, and last is there an easier way besides drilling a hole in the firewall to fit the lines? Thanks as always guys

An oil port will work for the oil garage, mine is above the oil filter. As for the water gauge you also have a port on the passenger head like the drivers. If you want it in the intake you might have to get a t-stat housing that has a sensor port. For drilling holes cut the end of the firewall plugs this will allow you to run wires inside the car.

cut the end of the firewall plugs? can you explain this?

So there is plugs that hold the firewall padding on the firewall. The end of the plugs stick into the engine bay. If you cut the end of the plug off you can run the wires or line through that plug. I’ll post a picture once I get to one of my cars.

Here is where one firewall padding plug is at. It’s just above the connection point for under the hood .
