I want to hook up some gauges in my XJ, mainly a water temp and oil pres.

My Question is, where on the block can I put the sending units?

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I looked the other day and couldn't see any where to put them, besides tee-ing off the stock units.

Pictures would be helpful too.

Thanks!

I had the dummy lights,and all I did was changed the instrument cluster to gauges.

I have the gauges in the cluster. I just wanted to put some auto-meter type ones on.

I actually also think there is a place at the oil filter where you can mount a sending unit for oil pres., correct me if I am wrong.

I can take a picture of the oil pressure sending unit when I get out of this stupid defensive driving class.

As far as the coolant temp sensor. I used a 3/8" close nipple, and a 3/8" tee. The 3/8" to 1/4" reducer came with the gauge set.
