Sunpro gauge installation. Parts list?

[Schwartz1986]

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of installing the Sunpro 1.5" gauge kit (temperature/voltmeter/oil pressure), and I could use a few pointers. A friend helped me drill holes in the center panel and relocate the hazard button, and now it's time to make the connections under the hood. I've never done this before, and I understand I'll need a tee adapter to get the pressure sender into the block. The thing is, I want to use the temperature gauge to read the oil temperature, not the coolant. Is it possible to have both an oil temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge? What parts am I going to need for this? Is there a good place to feed everything through the firewall? Any help would be appreciated, and I'll certainly post pictures of the results. Thanks!

For the temperature sensor, just put it on the oil pan where it would be immersed in oil. As far as running everything through the firewall, there is a big grommet in the back of the center console, near the floor. Not hard to find, is dead smack in the middle.
