External Oil Temp and Water Temp Gauge Install

[t1971Chally]

Hello everyone,

Just curious if you guys can give me some ideas on where I should drill through the firewall at to run the wires for an oil and water temp dash mounted gage?  Any ideas.....Thanks for your input!!!!

I found a hole between the brake booster & inner fender big enough for a 8-gauge power wire...I'm sure a couple of smaller wires could fit.

Can't you just run them through one of the existing holes?

if it is an auto car, you can use the big hole for the clutch linkage (the bog oval one), that's what I did.  I poked holes through the plug to run the wires.  It is fairly hidden too.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the suggestions!!!  I found a hole to run the temp cable through and now have the external temp gage working.  The external gage kit I purchased has a voltmeter, temp gage, and oil pressure gage.  I have the voltmeter and temp gage working however I am still trying to locate where the oil pressure gage hose connects to the 440 magnum engine.  Do you guys know where the connection is suppose to be made on the engine?   

Thanks again for the help!!!

there are 2 plugs in the rear of the block at the top behind the intake , you can use either port for oil press
