Can tell u some common places
Oil psi sender - Put a tee down were the turbo lube line/oem low oil psi sender light is.
h2o temp - Upper left hand side not right of motor while facing the front of the car is a single wire for the high temp idiot light that is a good place. But, I tried a tee so I could keep the high temp idiot light but the sender was not in the "flow/stream" of h2o to be accurate so I just left the idiot sender out.
Another place is the lower intake manifold below and slightly to the right of the throttle body a single green or gr w/yl stripe wire goes to it that is your fan delay relay sender. Some folks remove it and slap the h20 sender in there.
Good luck

Another H2O spot is about midway on the block on either side there are 1/8 pipe plugs. Drivers side is the easiest to get to. Most senders are 1/8th.
I know some will say you don't get a true water temp reading there. Its just a little slower to respond. And you don't loose any factory senders. I happen to like the idiot lite.
I'm never gonna finish this car!

Is this the sensor just left of the upper radiator hose hookup?

H2O - front passenger side of intake. Put a T fitting in the front center of the manifold where the S hose is connected & put the idiot light sender in the T & now you no longer need that special, hard to find S hose ( a simple curved hose will work).
