probably just tap into the signal wire on one of the O2 sensors... purple wire if I remember right.
Oil temp.. I'd assume they make "T" adapters to turn the say.. oil pressure outlet into two holes.

On the exhaust manifolds, usually one on each manifold very close to each head. And possibly one right before the cat on the downpipe.

^^ True that.
I had a narrowband but I do not have a wide band right now.
I only ordered it 2 months ago and it's still backordered :cry:
