That's a good looking setup, what kind of gauges are those?

hmmm, on the left side - as in sitting in the car or looking into the bay? Towards the oil filter or on the side near the a/c condensor? Did you need to get a "t" fitting for it at all or an extension to fit the sender?

the new sender on the left of the picture was 1/8" and the factory one on the right of the pic was 1/4" so i had to use a reducer with a 1/4" T and a 1 inch nipple into the block where the stock sender goes.... the blue in the far left of the pic is my a/c delco oil filter

I've thought about doing this before. Looks good. Are you thinking about painting the aluminum or just keeping it the way it is?
