Default Gauge options

What do I need to get gauges for temp/oil pressure on my conversion. I'm using a 5.3 with the gm pcm. I would rather not have to tap into the engine.

You need to choose what guys you like first and then I will tell you what fittings to buy, its pretty easy once you have worked out the threads, you shouldnt have to tap any threads for a coolant temp or oil psi gauge.

So I can't buy gauges that will work off the wires that went to the factory gauges?

You can always go with Covans Classic. That was a joke...just as they are. See thread below
