help w/ new autometer gauges
I just bought a oil press and water temp autometer gauges in carbon fiber mounted in a pod on the pillar. I know I can find a unused access for the water temp on one of the heads or on the intake but I could use a sugestion and well as the oil press. For the oil should the be a extra access as well or should I build a t-fitting on the existing oil press sender. Also is the stock sender elec or does it have a oil hose running of to a sensor to directly to the gauge like the autometer I have?

There is an oil pressure port on the driver's side of the block, right above the oil filter. It is only used for the stock oil pressure sensor on the 1993. For 1994 and up, they moved the stock oil pressure sensor to the top of the block, behind the intake manifold, under the cowl. The oil port above the oil filter is still there, with a plug screwed into it. That's where you mount the new pressure sensor.
For the coolant temp, there will be a port on the passenger side head, between plugs #6 and #8.... the same port used on the drivers side head for the stock gauge coolant sensor. The one on the passenger side is hard to access because of the exhaust. Use than one if you can. I just put a brass 1/8" NPT "tee" into the return line from the back of the heads, to mount an extra coolant temp sensor:
