Can anyone advise where the tapping points are on my 84' 351 Windsor block for the following smiths electric gauges:

Many thanks for any assistance.

Re: Gauge Tapping Points

Oil Pressure = near oil filter
Oil Temp = either in the oil cooler plumbing or tapped into the sump
water Temp = front of inlet manifold
