Well santa brought me two autometer phantom gauges (water temp and oil pressure) and a cluster gauge pod. My question involves how to install the gauges. I installed the same two on my old 91 gt but im not really sure how to install them on the 99. Is there a write up somewhere on how to do it? Im just not sure exactly where the coolant sensor thing would go and how i would keep the stock gauges functional. Im also not sure exactly where the oil pressure sensor would go. A part list would also be nice...

Do a search and you'll find everything you want to know. Locations, which wires to use for power, dimmer, etc.

The oil pr sensor goes in the oil filter base.There should be an allen plug there.The coolant temp sensor goes on the left side of the engine up near the front.I think there is a pretty good pic in that link.

1/4" NPT T fitting, 1/4" close nipple, and the 1/4" -> 1/8" adapter that comes with the gauge.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that all the romeo's have the extra spot. It's on the bottom. Look upward at the bottom of the vehicle. If you have one, you'll see it. It's a hexagon shaped plug about 3/4" around, sitting on the bottom of that whole assembly where the oil filter, oil pressure sender, etc, go.

Look on my site, the link I posted, and look at the picture. That clearly shows where it goes. If you look at your car, and compare it to the picture, and there's no plug on your car, then you don't have one.

If that's the case, then just get the friggen T fitting. This isn't rocket science.

You know what, nevermind. Everyone in this thread has gone out of their way to provide not only links, but also information to you. You obviously refuse to listen to the advice people are giving, and obviously are not reading the links we posted, and still haven't done a search like we recommended.

I'm done with this thread. Good luck to you.

actually your wrong, i have looked at every link and taken every bit of advice you guys have given me seriously. Obviously i have ran into some complications because mine is a 99 and does not have the same factory t fitting yours does. When you post a comment like, 'its not rocket science' its asking for a retort so dont get mad.

Dont think im not taking you guys seriously because i am. I spent atleast 3 hours screwin with it last night and ive ran into a few complications

1) i cant get the damn plug out of the block for the water temp sensor

2) i cant screw that T fitting into the stock oil pressure sender location because a wire harness is in the way, so im in the process of removing the starter cable which has turned into a huge hassle. As of right now its soaking in wd40 to try to get it to loosen up a little.
