I hate that I'm moving so slow on this. I'm going to blame it on the uppity apartment that I'm living in for the moment. Technically I'd be violating my lease to change a flat tire. I have to drive 30 minutes to a DIY mechanic shop.

Anyway, here is a very quick update:
I put in the oil temperature and oil pressure senders. I did not add the water temperature sensor because I had no desire to open up the coolant system tonight. I had plans with my son and did not install the gauge into the dash, but they are wired up, sitting in the passenger seat. I will post pics later, but to summarize, the oil pressure sensor is tee'd off with the stock oil pressure switch and the oil temperature probe is mounted in a drain bolt tapped to take a 1/8bspt fitting. Not removing the factory gauges tonight allowed me to compare the two temp gauges on the way home. As measured at the bottom of the pan, the Defi gauge reads 10-12 degrees below the stock gauge (I didn't push it to get the temps past 180)

I uploaded a very brief video showing the oil pressure gauge in action. The engine is somewhat warmed up, so it's idling at around d 45 psi
