Default electrical oil gauges

i have 2 autogauge electrical oil gauges; oil temp and oil pressure.

they came with new sender units which will give off a reading but is there anywhere on the engine that i can use for readings already?

anybody got these gauges in their car?

thanks,

dave

Can you not connect them via a T-piece at the standard oil pressure switch at the back of the block as you would with mechanical oil gauges?
