Question oil pressure and water temp gauges

Where do you install the water temp and oil pressure gauge at?



I was thinking about installing the water temp gauge on the pass side head where the plug is at?

And the oil pressure gauge would go into a tee where the sender is at?


What do you all think?

Thanks

Of you are referring to the place above the starter for the water temp thats what I did and it worked fine. And I did my oil pressure right where you are referring to worked great.

Put the water temp gauge sender in the block above the starter like he said. Works great and is easy to get to. Gives accurate readings too

I used the hole above the starter..

For the oil temp guage I had a buddy tap into the piece right above the oil filter. I don't remember the site that gave me the idea to tap in there. I'll look.
