autometer gages I'm putting manual oil press and water temp gages in my 98 TA and as some of you I'm sure knows they don't fit. is there an adaptor for these? I'm not remotely interested in drilling and tapping my heads and defiantly not in drilling my oil sending unit hole.
any help will be greatly appreciated

I have an adapter I'll sell you, its the autometer part no. 2268 metric adapter. It adapts a 16mm male end pipe thread to a 1/8" NPT port. If you get under the car and look at the back/side corner of the block, above the oil filter and the small boss on top of it - actually on the corner on the block itself theres a small allen headed plug there. That is an oil port, you can pull that plug and install this 16mm adapter there and run your oil gauge from it. The adapter was $11 from summit, I'll take $14 shipped for it if you want it let me know.

Pull the plug from the pass. side head on the back side of it (behind the #8 primary tube, opposite the drivers side sensor spot) and buy an aftermarket fitting to go there too (not sure the size, but its a coolant passage hole)

thats where I had in mind putting it but the hole is way to small
Small? Should be the exact same size as the other side ...heads are 'reversible' basically on install..trust me...I installed them opposite from when they were on the car before and had to go buy another sensor because my turbo header flange is too close to the sensor on the pass. side and I can't get a wrench on it haha
