Okay, when I bought my car, these gauge did not work. Upon further inspection, they were never hooked up. So, my question is, how do I hook these up and exactually where?

Here's a picture of when I dropped the engine. The oil temperature sending wire (in a '75) is near the top of the photo just under the bright red bar that holds the battery in. It has a white tag attached to it (add by me) and is green/black. Do you have one of those?

I don't have that wire or any wires on that side of the engine compartment, except my electronic fuel pump.
