Ok I'll assume you have to stock gauges. Which will be easy. Now I set mine up like this. You'll need some decent wire. 10 to 16 gauges will work fine.

Now cut 5 (+) wires at about 7 inches or so each. These will be positive wires so you may want to mark the wire some how. All I had was white 10-gauge wire. So I painted these red. Then you'll need 6 ground wires. I painted these black. These all will need female ends to fit the back of the gauges.

Now my sending units went to 3 different places under the hood. The volts I ran to the alt. the pressure went to the oil cooling housing, and the temp went to the drain plug. I sent the wires by the fuse box opening though the firewall. I went ahead and ran these wires and mark them as such.

Back under the dash you'll have to fine a couple things. A good strong ground point so you can ground the 3 lights and the 3 gauges. I used a 6-gauge wire and put an eyehole crimping and grounded it by the blower fan. The two other things you need to fine is power for the lights which might be piggy backed off the other dash lights. The other source of power you'll need is for the gauges them selves. Which will need to be on regardless of the lights. I piggybacked off of one of the power sources off the dis selector switch. I think it was a gray wire. Now all you have to do is plug it altogether.

Now this was done with the gauges in the top of the dash.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions
