Guage question
 
I have a set of mechanical guages for my car (oil pres., water temp, vacuum.) I was wondering, is there any way to use the both my new mechanical guages and and still have functional stock guages?

Also where is the sender for my water temp guage?
My car is a 92 LX.

You can tap a hole in the bar that comes off to the stock sender for the oil pressure and install the Mechanical oil tube fitting there. The Coolant sender is in the front of the manifold drivers side, I ditched the stock one and just run the mechanical gauge there. However depending on what manifold you have there may be a spare "boss" that can be tapped and you can install the Mecanical sender there.

The vaccum gauge can go to the manifold if you drill and tap it or use a rubber adapter and use the spare port on the stock vaccum tree.

I recommend taking the sender out before you do that though. Just for safe. That will work though.
