Where to connect gauge pack (oil psi and temp)

Well the only factory gauge that works on my car is the speedometer, so i took a gauge pack out of my 78 f150 monster truck to put on my stang, where do i connect the oil psi and temp probe?

Do I understand this right, you're trying to swap the factory gauge clusters? If so, I don't think that's gonna work.

oil pressure hooks up at the left front of the block (drivers side) beside the oil filter, Coolant sensor in the top front left corner of the intake manifold

.....when I had a victor jr on my 302, I had to drill a hole and use a NPT tap to make the proper size hole, there should be flat blind spots at the corners of the intake were the water jackets are in the heads

Must be a really old Victor Jr. All the ones I've seen in the last 10 years are already drilled and taped for sensors and heater hose hook ups.

Right out of the box
