72 cutlass after market gages

I bought a voltmeter, oil pressure gage and water temp gage cluster for under the dash. Can anyone tell me where to hook up the water temp and oilpressure line?

Aftermarket gauges should come with their own sending units. The water temp sending unit would mount on the intake manifold in a water jacket port. The oil pressure just to the right of the oil filler tube. The sending unit for factory warning lights are not correct for gauges.

Depends upon if the aftermarket gauges are mechanical or electrical, and the OP did not say which he has.

Here's a link to a discussion about gauge installation and pictures of where the ports where the temp and oil pressure gauge connections are made.

This thread shows how to install aftermarket gauges in parallel with factory sending units.
