    the smaller sensor in the head (not the block) is the temperature sending unit, and the bigger one in the thermostat housing is the thermoswitch for the cooling fan......

    so you'll use the one in the head for your temp gauge

              a "T" fitting at the pressure switch should do it

                      Well if its anything like the B3 it should be on the back of the motor by the firewall under the intake manifold.. and if i remember right its above the filter but don't quote me on that... only time i've changed one was when I was also changing my oil so the filter was out

                          yeah, it's at 10 o'clock to the oil filter. you'll need a male coupler, T fitting, and the stuff that came with your gauges.
