How do you install oil pressure, water temperature, and air to fuel gauges????

To anyone who may know the answer....

I have been finding it difficult to figure out exactly what to do in order to connect my oil pressure and water temp gauges into my 02 cavalier. I understand that there should be a plug somewhere around the engine block in which i would screw the adaptor into, but i cant find it ANYWHERE!!! Also, does anyone know a relatively easy way to connect a water temperature gauge....could i possibly splice into the already existing wires that connect to the original water temp gauge on the dash, or do i need to purchase an adapter....if so, where could i buy one......

If anyone knows any steps in the install process, or has any useful advice, your help would be greatly appreciated... thanks

Oil Pressure gauge.

Z24 engine


2200/2.2


Coolant temp. Either get an adaptor for your stock one and new one, or drill the hard metal line.

Aif/fuel gauge is the purple wire AFTER the harness connector.

What's that wire/tube sticking out of the z24 unit? The one that came with my Glowshift gauge doesn't look like that one or have that tube sticking out of it

The one on the z24, is for a mechanical gauge. You probably have an electric one. The mechanical has that hard vac line which will run all the way up into the gauge inside the vehicle. This is the one i have.
