I mounted my gauges with this pod, removed the ashtray. My gauges are all
white now. I drilled and tapped the coolant distributor (very carefully),
and installed the coolant temp sensor very close to the original. For oil
temp, used a beetle drain plug sensor, and for the oil pressure used a
grease gun extension hose attached to the block and on the side a T fitting
with the original oil pressure sensor and a VDO sensor for the gauge. Ran
the wires attached to the a/c hoses, and there you have it.

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
