Braided hose if you look under your alternator take that oil pressure switch out screw braided hose in there
oil temp brass fitting as you look left hand side straight down between tmic and intake hose you should see a allan key hole that bolt/nut gets replaced

See the oil pressure sensor you take out it screws into one of the ports on braided hose and fit your aftermarket sensor to the other spare port
oil temp plug you take it has no sensor
so screw your aftermarket gauge sensor into brass fitting then screw brass fitting into the hole in block

Yep both times I brought full kits , but just seen on eBay you can buy just the block bit , does it matter which one you screw the oe sensor in

Yer they seem fine , on both of them it seemed like it wouldn't start well looked a little crooked, I thought the second one was ok until I took it out and it had a little leak so tried to tighten it and it stripped
