I have the gauge but haven't crawled under the engine to look for where it will hook up to...where will I find the connection for it? This is the mechanical style gauge vs the electrical.

 

If memory serves me on mine there was a fitting on the screw on type oil filter housing assembly. I do not know if this holds true for the cannister type filter.

 

I will check that out and let you know. I appreciate the input!

 

Maniac is right. Oil senders for these engines are on the oil filter adapter housing. RH side of engine underneath the car. Make sure you put a vibration loop in the tubing and run it thru a grommet where it passes thru the firewall. Copper tubing preferred over the plastic junk that comes with most gauges.

 

I agree, I had a gauge on my CJ5 Jeep and it was the plastic tubing at first and after it sprayed all over me I switched it to copper. I found fair prices on the tubing on eBay unless anyone else has a better suggestion. $15.95 shipped was about the best I found.
