AFR gauge taps into the stock O2 sensor wire.

The oil pressure gauge is a bit trickier, as it needs to be in direct contact with the oil flow.&nbsp A Racing Beat adapter plate is added costs, but it makes connecting an oil pressure sensor (and oil temp sensor) a breeze...

Water temp gauge...mechanical would need a fitting and hose into somewhere into the coolant flow.&nbsp For an electronic gauge, you'll need to tap the sender into the coolant flow.&nbsp I like to drill and tap close to the thermostat housing, since this is supposed to be one of the hottest areas of coolant flow...
