    lsx swap in 95 obs close to being finished

    I started the swap a while back and finished it 2 months but still have a little tweaking to do. Need help on a/c lines already fabbed up a bracket for under 30$ need tach. To work oil pressure not reading and water temp. Found a temporary fix for temp. And rpms. I'm using a Bluetooth obd2 adapter from eBay with a phone app called "tourqe"
    *built 4l60e vette servo, tbss stall, and custom shift kit

    Google "obs Ls swap temp gauge" and click videos. There's a video of a 98 camaro 3 wire temp sender one wire to the gauge, other two to the pcm.
    As for the oil gauge, you should have left your original sender and used an adapter.
    The tach is the white wire running from the conectrr driver side below brake booster, you may need a resistor for it. Check out lt1swap.com he shows how to wire it under 99+ lsx tach wiring.

    For the oil, you can remove the 2 bolt cover port next to the oil filter and tap it. There is a dummy hole on this cover, just drill and tap through that.

    Here's a neat trick for the temp guage sender. If I had found this info sooner, I would have went this route instead of doing what I did.

    This is definitely the way to go. I did this on my lathe for my temp sender and it came out great. Way better then drilling into the water pump. Your conversion looks great by the way.
