The OEM sensor is located by the oil filter. Not sure if you want to tap those sensor wires because it's .5 volt and you guage is probably setup for 12 v.  Did the guage come w/a sensor and are you wondering where to put that?

Above that sender there is a plug with a hex head, remove that and the autometer sensor will screw into it. Run the wire & your done. Good luck on that project. (in reply to 733subvet) Post #: 6

THANK YOU now if i can just figure out the taillight issue was thinking about cutting off the washers on the 3 double ended studs that go through to the trunk if that would fix it ? i think they may be the culprit any reason NOT to try that ? _____________________________ Scott T.
