We use to use a "T" fitting under the dash sending unit, and come off there with a gauge connection. Not knowing for sure how your's hooks up or the room for a "T", it might give you an idea how to run it. Good luck.

he didnt mean it's in the dash. He meant the sending unit for the gauge in the dash.

it's located at the back of the block right next to the distributor. It's black and has a metal base. Just remove it, put a "t" fitting in there and then hook the stock sending unit on one end (top) then hook up the aftermarket parts to the other fitting. I did that to have an oil sorce for my turbo.

mechanical guge requires a line run into cab

Use a tee with the elec type and be sure you put
the ground side diectly to engine block not in cab
or any other wire it will effect accuracy

Than both will work, if you disable the factory
sending unit you will throw a code and mil light
will come on
