Default Getting Autometer Gauges. What works and what doesnt?

Hi all. Im getting some gauges in and was wondering what needs to be changed sending unit wise, if any. Its just the oil pressure and water temp but I didnt know if they are compatable with the LS signals.

The oil pressure and water temp gauges will come with their respective sending units. All you have to do is hook em up and you'll be good to go.

Good to know. Any chance on hooking up the wires from the PCM instead?

The oil pressure sender needs to be installed in the "oil cooler" neck above the oil filter. It needs to be drilled and tapped (1/8" pipe tap will work). The Water temp gauge sender will go in the pass side head toward the back. There is a block off plug you can remove and put the Autometer sender in. Hook up the wires and you are good to go.

Yeah Ive read some about adding in the new sending units. Im just trying to keep as clean an engine bay as possible. The less wires the better! Kinda hard to do with an LS though
