Where could someone tee into lines or ports for aftermarket oil pressure and vacuum/boost gauges?

The usual candidate for oil pressure is to tee the factory oil pressure sender. Suggestions of secondary locations would be nice.

Then there is the vacuum/boost gauge. It has to see the pressure downstream from the supercharger. Is there a port somewhere?

If anyone knows the thread sizes of the ports, that would really cut down on the "remove, take a look, put it back, drive to parts store" routine.

The three selected gauges are:

voltmeter
oil pressure
vacuum/boost combo

Real needles please. No interest in siphoning data from the ECU whatsoever.

If you have an oil cooler, you could tap into that line, that one is on the pressure site (Was very noticable when the hose blew doing 70mph).

The supercharger outlet (that has the "V8" on it) has a outlet on the right hand side, that is used for the fuel pressure regulator, you can tap in here.

Thank you very much!

I was pretty certain that you intimate knowledge of the engine would be helpful in the end.
