UPDATE: Got a few things done today. The big item of the days was dropping the tranny out and installing a new clutch fork, clutch release bearing and pivot stud. I Also got all the mechanical linkage connected and adjusted. Wow the good ol' mechanical clutch feels awesome from top to bottom.

Ran the 5/8" heater hose to the heater.

Mounted the map sensor to the side port of the the intake also tied the boost reference fuel regulator into the same vacuum port.

Mounted the wide band sensor in the downpipe and ran wires and mounted the gauge in the stock dash under the fuel level gauge. While I was in the wiring mode I started to pull some of the other wires through the firewall to there locations.

Does anyone know if it will work to splice into my stock oil press signal wire and feed it to my auto-meter gauge, I would do the same at my water temp sensor?

Also were to I tie my tack signal wire into?

I figure one more day mounting fuel tank and wiring everything up and she should fire, I hope?

You can't splice into the oil pressure and coolant temps because you have to use Autometers senders. They are calibrated to the gauges. If you use the stock senders, they won't read correctly.

Just replace the stock oil pressure sender with autometers as the computer doesn't need the oil pressure input for anything. You will need an adaptor fitting to do that. You will have to keep the stock coolant temp sensor in place though. A lot of talbes in the tune reference it. I put the Autometer coolant sender in the back of the passenger side head.

Thanks for the response. Saved me some trial and error testing.

This is one sick set-up in a truck. I can't wait to see more on this truck.
