What year engine do you have? I believe pre-1980's did not have a spot on the rear housing for temp or oil pressure.

on a 12a and a rotary pickup 13b 4port i worked on last week theres a big brass electric sender with a fat round end that threads into the rear side housing. on the fat round end there is little round circle protusion. u slide the female connector (that looks like it's for a blade connector) right onto that little round circle protusion.

now on 12a water temp is on the same rear side housing and is a little spud that you pop a female roundy connector onto. don't remember about the 13b 4port but i'd bet its similar.

if ur going to sevenstock tomorrow just call me on my cell and i'll come over and help out. later gonz!
