A 396 Chevy engine has the oil pressure sending unit located in back of the engine, on top, close to the distributor, drivers side. The opening is a 1/8" pipe thread. You can "tee" it and have both factory and auxiliary oil gauges in operation.
Right above the oil filter.
its located next to the oil filter
Your oil temperature gauge will connect to the oil pressure sensor. The water temperature gauge will hook up to the water temperature sensor. The oil pressure sensor will be on the left-hand side of the engine and the water temperature sensor will be on the front of the engine.
Need to hook up a oil pressure gauge in the place were the oil sending unit is on the engine and see what the gauge reads, You should have no less then 20 LBS. at a idle. If it does not have oil pressure then pump is bad.
The temp gauge sensor screws into the driver side head atoms #2 and #3 plugs. The volt gauge hooks up to any ignition on hot wire and the other wire to chasis ground. Oil pressure gauge is just behind the distributor.
The fuel level gauge is in the tank
Yes, that is a good place for an oil pressure guage. Try to keep the tube away from exhaust heat.
no, but with a truck you can hook up a oil rig.

need to know how to hook up the wires on the engine on F-150 pick up to make a pro tach rpm gauge work
There is a 1/8 NPT threaded hole on the rear rail at the back of the block. There is also a 1/4 NPT plug just above the oil filter.
You may have a faulty oil pressure sending unit. remove the sensor and hook a pressure gauge up to it and get the gauge in a position the you can see it while driving. Get it up on the thruway and see if it is in spec. If you don't address this asap, there is potential to wipe out the motor.
