Autometer oil temp & pressure gauge AND Greddy adaptor compatibility question

Hi all I'm trying to find out whether or not the senders from my Autometer gauges would bolt right on to the Greddy Oil filter block adaptor. Also, can someone tell me the best way of routing the wires and lines to the center speaker gauge pod location? Thanks!

The probes will fit with the supplied adaptors. As for routing the wires, I went through the rubber grommet behind the fuse box in the driver's footwell. Remove the fender spashsheild and you'll see it. My boost gauge is routed through there as well. Routing to the center pod is easy. Just fish with a coat hanger, etc. No trouble.

To add to DamonB's response, the Greddy block adapter has two 1/8" NPT fittings. Be advised that you must use the OEM oil filter (or a shorter one!) when using the Greddy adapter. You will have to mess with the TPS harness to get the filter on and off, it's that tight.

DamonB: Just pretty much I can just order the Greddy adaptor and that's it right?

thanks for all your replies!

do you have to have the block in order to have an oil temp gauge? is there another place to read it at? . . . or is that the best place to put it? . . . oh yeah, and where in the hell do you get it?

Coathanger will make it much easier. I just squeezed my arm through the passenger side dash to get it.
