Mechanical oil pressure and water temp gauges

[Beekeeper]

Where is everyone running the oil line and thermocouple wire through to the interior?

oil line threw tic toc tack grommet and for the WG line up threw the steering wheel column mount. I didnt want to drill any holes.

On my 66 I ran both through the tach wire grommet on the pass side thats below the heater box and about top of carpet on the firewall.

I drilled a hole as high as I could get it under the glove box and then installed a grommet.

The pressure line for the oil pressure gauge is explained. The water temperature gauge uses a filled system that measures temperature by the expansion of a gas in filled system. It actually measures pressure on a scale that reads temperature. There are no wires .....

On Satellite thru tach wire grommet

On Coronet already had a hole for oil gauge, Ive added temp gauges and volt meter , plan to use same hole
