Default Oil temp and fuel pressure gauge tap and sending unit?

I need an electronic Fuel Pressure sending unit and info on how to tap it into the fuel system. Anyone done this yet and if so what parts and where did you buy them?

Also, where did anyone tap into the oil supply to install an oil temp sender? If you did please explain or a pic will do.

oil temp i tapped directly into my oil pan.

fuel pressure, you tap to the hose going into the fuel rail.

you can get a T brass fitting, and just plug your sender into that.

autometer sells electronic fuel pressure gauges as well as oil temp.

Oil pan, huh. I'd rather not tap the pan. I wonder if there's any type of spacer you can put on between the oil filter and the block so you can run a line out of there. Could you think of any negative effects of that?

You mean just tap into the rubber hose and run off of that?

for FP, yes, there is a fuel hose that runs to the fuel rail., it is the one off of the pump to the engine.. this is where u need to get the readings from, so you have to put the sender there. so you know the pressure going into the engine-

as far as the Oil Temp, im pretty sure you can find another line, perhaps if you run an oil cooler, you can run it off of the return line after its been cooled.. but my oil pan is tapped for the return lines for my turbos so it was easier for me to do that..
