For the oil pressure, you can use one of the oil galley taps on the passenger side of the engine. That will hide the sender, or mechanical gauge line. Water temp is more difficult. I just use the Stock gauge for that.


Absolutely true on the oil gauge and for the reasons given as an advantage using the ports on the passenger side main oil gallery. That is where I placed my extra gauge in the 47. Only reason I suggested the street tee in the sender spot as being the simpler option is my port plugs were very tight, flush head with only a screwdriver slot, and some kind of sealant on them. It was a real pain to remove -- and that was with the fender off and easy access. If your access is not as open and easy then if the plugs are like mine it could be a chore getting a plug out.
