so im putting a trans temp gauge and a boost/ vac gauge in my 87. Where should I install the trans sending unit in the 2004r ? Wheres the best place to put the boost tube for the boost gauge? Thank u
are you running a stock pan or one of the cast aluminum fancy pans?
I tapped the boost gauge into one of the hard lines that went over near the ac and to the fender sensor. The line was very brittle and had already broken so I didn't feel bad about cutting anything.

If you decide to tap the trans pan , make sure there is plenty of clearance on the inside where the transducer protrudes .
Some mount the transducer in the trans line going to the cooler .
Something like this http://www.jegs.com/i/Auto-Meter/105/2286/10002/-1
x2 on the sheet pan. Careful where you put it . Some of that stuff in there is real close to the pan. Also.you can weld a nut to.the pan if you are good with a welder.
I think I found a cast deep pan with a place for a sending unit preinstalled. Also quick question. I just got my 87 and im new to these things, the plug on the driver side of the trans is not connected, previous owner said it only affects highway mpgs. Any truth to this?
Not entirely true. It also keeps the ecm from seeing the 3rd gear signal which affects wot timing. Probably needs a lockup solenoid in the trans and they unplugged it because it was a nuisance to drive it that way.

sounds like that seller kinda snookered ya. I concur on the solenoid replacement. Not hard, two nuts and some wires to cut n reconnect on the new one.
you can do it while you have the pan down for the new cast one.
