The water and oil should have come with their own sending units. More than likely they're not compatable with the factory sending units. The volt meter, you're on your own. I believe they'renormally wired into the alternator harness, or can be wired into the solenoid harness?

more or less on topic, if one has water pressure and oil pressure gauges with the wires cut, can they be spliced into the factory sensors?
