Read the instructions?

Or google "How to wire ammeter" and "how to install oil pressure gauge" and "water temp gauge install"

first of all i read the directions and since they are universal gauges there is no answer to where to hook them up. also i checked google . i know someone that has a 3vze can tell me the exact locations to route the lines ect.

Oil pressure sending unit will require a British Standard Pipe Thread adapter, since your gauge kit likely came with a 1/8" NPT fitting.

The sending unit is right near the oil filter on your 3.0. Looks like a little can with a wire coming off of it.

Installing the temp sender gives you a couple options. You can try to find one of your stock sending units and replace it, but I went with a top rad hose adapter from Autometer, as well.

Oh, forgot to mention, but you'll have to remove the existing sending unit and use the one that came with your gauge kit, but I assume you already know that.
