pretty simple...if you look in the engine bay youll see rubber grommets in the fire wall....theres some on the passanger side, my guages were run behind the dash and through the grommets, usually if you pull of your glove box and have a friend shine a light through the grommet you can find the hole pretty easy but you may have to cut away some of the material to make the hoses and wires fit through

also be sure to cover the area that will be in contact with the firewall with something so that theres no chance of the metal rubbing through

Ok, so there is no easy access through the firewall on the driver side? So you had to take your dash apart to do your gauges?

Gauges...

1) Find a suitable location on your firewall.

2) Drill hole in your firewall.

2) Install rubber grommet in the hole you just drilled.

3) Run lines for gauges through the grommet you just installed in the hole you just drilled.

You do not have to take your dash apart.

For the oil pressure gauge, you can use a oil filter sandwich adapter, which will have provisions to mount your oil pressure sender.

or

You can tee off your stock oil pressure sender.
