Default installing mechanical gauges

where are we tapping into the engine for oil pressure readings for a mechanical oil pressure gauge?

where are we tapping into to get coolant temp readings for a similar mechanical gauge?

'93 w150, magnum 318


I'm having some low oil pressure issues, but at only 70kmi, i doubt the engine is worn, and i am leaning towards a bad electric sender.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to keep the stock oil pressure gauge too use a tee fitting into the block. Don't know about the temp. gauge.
