Installing a few gauges..questions

I bought a generic 3 gauge sunpro set at autozone that has volts/oil pres/water temp.

If this were a sbc/ls1/5.0 mustang etc, I'd know exactly where everything is..I'm still new to these motors (22re's), did a search but didn't really get much help..

Where's the locations of the water temp sensor that I can hook the aftermarket gauge to, and where's the oil pressure go? It's a mechanical gauge, btw..I'm still debating even putting the oil pressure gauge in and just replacing it with an electric one, I don't like the idea of oil running into the cab like that.

i know the oil pressure goes into the side of the block, see where the oil filter is? that plug next to it? thats your oil pressure switch. you have to buy a oil pressure SENDing unit. and as for the coolant sensor, its one of the 3 plugs inbetween the engine and the intake manifold.

You don't need to buy a sending unit for a mechanical oil gauge.
