Aftermarket Oil Pressure/Water Temperature Gauge?

Hi Folks,

As re-assembly of my 327 gets closer, I was thinking I should probably spring for an oil pressure gauge to check how the rebuilt engine is doing (since all the car has itself is a red warning light), and at the same time might as well install a water temperature gauge to supplement the one that already comes with the car.

I was thinking of this one:

Autometer Auto-Gage Aftermarket Combo Oil Pressure/Water Temperature Gage

Any other suggestions?

Where would be a good places to hook these up on the engine? The water temperature gauge uses a 1/2 or (optional 3/8 NPT fitting), the oil pressure uses a 1/8 NPT. I imagine I would have to find a 6-volt bulb for the gauge lighting.
