so im getting three new guages ( engine temp, oil pressure, and somethin else i havent decided...ill find out today wen i get to the shop.maybe battery voltage) but anyhow, they are going to go on the center console, on one of those little brackets that hold three guages...is it complicated to install these? id probably have to run new wires, so would i just follow the original harness under the chassis? thanks.

You should ditch the mechanical oil pressure guage and get an electronic version for ease of installation. There is a wire in the center console/center tunnel for the oil temp sender. I believe the wire is green with a black stripe. Use the wire as is, but the sender on the motor may have to be swapped for a different unit. The pressure sender is a large canister that will not fit well in the stock location. You need a hydralic hose (brake hose) that will thread into the block and allow you to mount the sender in a remote location.
