    Tap it at the connection for the O2 sensor. I think it's purple/blue.

    You mean where is the connection?

    Here:

    It's connected to the bracket the engine cover slips into at the back of the engine bay.

    The oil pressure sensor is located on the back side of the engine block right above the oil filter.

    Doh! Completely skipped over him asking about the oil pressure sensor. You sure your gauge will read that sensor correctly?

    Ditto. Most aftermarket gauges require their own sender to be used.

    Will the ZZP pigtail work for him since (judging by his avatar) he has an 04+? The ZZP page says it's only for L36/L67 engines.

    Hmm good eye, it will not work!! I even looked up the o2 sensors and they are different as well. Interesting there isn't one of these for the 04&^

    its cool I got them all hooked up, My gauge came with its own sender unit, the 02 gauge is spliced into the purple wire on the o2 sensor.... ( narrow band Im assuming, speaking of which Will someone explain the difference between narrow and wide, and explain how to make a wideband system....)
    and the boot gauge is ran into the vaccum system, Installing a 180 thermo today, and how do you reach the plugs on the back, because I have AL 104's Id like to throw at it... Im getting it ready for a smaller Pulley... Thanks guys sorry to not have responded all weeked was out of town with no internet!!!! "YIKES!!!!"
