I want to put and oil pressure guage and engine temp guage in my 70 cutlass. I believe the connection point for the temp guage is the driver side of the thermostat. Is the connection point for the oil pressure right below it? if not what is that one and where do I hook up for an oil pressure guage? Thanks

That is correct.

Does anyone have any suggestions on any certain brand or style of gauges to get?

Suggestions? Since you're looking at two gauges I saw something I think is neat. National Parts Depot has it in the Chevelle catalog, but I think the trim on the pillar post is the same as Cutlass. Looking is still free.

They also have a version for one gauge.

Those pods are a nice idea. You see them a lot in ricers, but they they allow you to not have to cut dash or screw into it anywhere.

Where do you mount that? I'm not picturing it

On the left side windshield pillar. (A-pillar) Summit Racing has some too.

I was thinking about some full sized pickups. You had to bring up ricers and ruin the image for me.

The A-pillar. On the inside.

Hello All, I have this Cluster in my car, they work great and are very simple to install. I would highly reccomend. You can get it for about 10 dollars cheaper at either Advance Auto or Autozone.

I mounted a small Autometer ATM 2391 triple gauge console under the dash, a bit left of the tranny tunnel. Painted the black plastic frame, same red color as my dash, and looks pretty good. These are fairly small, so kept the idiot lights functioning too. Since all electric, fairly easy to install, and less than $100 bucks for the whole deal.
