Volt/Oil Guage Questions, Please 200 1992

Greetings All: Was a 240 owner waaaaay back when, and now I'm back, having acquired a 92' 240 wagon that begged me to take her home. Freshening her up and decided to have a go at the instruments. Added Dave Barton's white face package and halogen bulbs to the main cluster, and am thinking of installing a marine-grade white faced voltmeter and electric oil pressure gauge in the blanks to the right of the speedo. The questions that come to mind, and for which I need a little assistance are as follows:

1. Is there an open pigtail in the dash wiring that I can tap into for the 12V keyed-hot that I'll need for both meters. Should I go off the fusebox and just run a separate lead?

2. Since several oil gauge packages have a dual-mode sender (they'll operate the warning light [U]and[/U] the gauge, and they give you choices, does anyone know the answers to the following:

a) At how many psi/bar is the factory low oil pressure warning light triggered?
b) Does anyone know the size and thread pitch needed for the sending unit?

Thanks in advance,
B

    The factory manuals are available on kjet.org. They show the power, ground, and light connections used by the triple gauge option.

    The oil sender is 1/8" pipe thread. You will need a 45 deg brass adapter to clear the oil filter.

    The square plastic panels with openings for standard VDO gauges and rubber wedges for mounting the gauges may still be available from the dealer at a resonable price. If not I have a set to sell for $5 per gauge.
