Tap the throttle body coolant line for temp gauge and use the stock oil press. sender location for the new gauge.(this is located right underneath the oil filter near the trailing spark plug)

Do yourself a big favor and sell that gauge -- and buy an electrical oil pressure gauge instead. Unless you like the idea of a failure resulting in 200F oil spraying around your cabin at 30-100 psi.

Exactly. Any gauge that meters fluids should be electronic. Its dangerous to run them inside a car. Get a proper electronic gauge with a sender.
