Default gauge installation

i have the triple pillar with a/f ratio, fuel pressure, and oil pressure. i seen that some people ran it threw the grommet on the passenger side and that sounds good to me. i just need some ideas of where to put the oil pressure sender and the fuel pressure sendin unit. thanx

For fuel pressure I removed the Schrader (sp?) valve on the fuel rail and connected it through a 90 fitting on the fuel rail.

Any special handling of that valve before during or after your swap?

The valve is a convenience for maintenance/diagnostic work. There's really no problem with having it removed.

Make sure you have a rag handy as gas will probably flow out a little bit once you remove the valve. Also, do NOT turn on the car or turn the car to access. until the sending unit is in place. Other wise you're gonna have a ton of fuel pumping out. Once you have the sending unit on, fire it up and check to make sure it's on tight and no fuel leaking.

I used a tee of the rail then had the sender on one end and another shrader on the other so I wouldnt have to remove the sender to relieve the fuel pressure.
