Drivetrain Gauges...finally
The factory sender hole. Use a 3/8" pipe thread nipple, 1" long(maybe 1 1/2" i'll check), get a female tee, grind off the "T" part, run a tap down it. Screw the nipple in the block, screw on the tee so the part you ground off is on the side, put the factory sender in the end and your gauge sender in the tee.
BE CAREFUL ...
I had this set up and the extended tube fractured on the turn to the front straight at Las Vegas Motor speedway. If you do this and run the stock sender and a sender for a guage there is a big chance of the T / extender failing !
I now run a SS line and a remote sender

I tee'd off where the stock water temp sender is, and it wasn't easy. It required more modified brass fittings, just like the oil press setup.

Update on my water temp sender location, I originally had moved the stock temp sender away from the head, and tee'd off of that for the Autometer sender. Not good. I was getting a code for a "coolant thermostat malfunction" apparently the sender wasn't getting as hot as it should have been. So I put it back in the head and made a "T" to replace the stock plastic one that has the return line to the expansion tank. It should be ok now.
Yeah, as Partsman says, probably Dart then. I know its a 69 becasue of the 69 steering wheel. The dash is rather simmilar, the only thing I can see in the pic that throws me off are the doors. The strutcure of the door doesnt look Charger, but the dash does.
