Default Aftermarket coolant/oil gauge

Has anyone used these adapters I found on Ebay to put an aftermarket coolant temp gauge and oil pressure gauge in their car?

Thanks in advance

On the items description for the coolant temp adapter, it says you can install it on the other head(passenger side) so you can keep the stock sensor in place. Is that how have yours set up?

I put mine in the passenger head that was it was out of the way and put the plug in the driver's side. I don't know how much of a PITA it will be putting it on the left side, I removed the HVAC from my car so it was easy for me

If you run a aftermarket gauge then yes you can keep the stock sensor on the driver's side.

Awesome, I will do that. I plan on doing aftermarket gauges for the coolant, oil pressure and fuel pressure.

I am also removing all my HVAC/AC system but I am keeping the heater core.

You answered all my questions Z28/2002. Thanks a lot, you are the man.
