What do you guys think are the lest locations for the lines for the oil, temp and volt gauges? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, this is my first time putting aftermarket gauges in a car that never had any ('85 Regal.) Any help is appreciated.
 
I'm in the process of installing an A pillar gauge pod, made by AutoMeter. I think Gbodyparts.com sells a full piece, compared to this piece that fits over the original piece.

I thought about a pillars, but seemed too distracting for me. I should have been more clear, but on the oil and temp gauges, where to I tap into the block for them? The oil pressure on a sb Chevy is on the rear near the dizzy, but idk for the life of me where to put it on a Buick.

oil temp top and transmission temp lower i move sorry it blurry, but you get the idea put your gauges where you feel comfortable reading them as your driving
 
Oh, yeah I'm not sure on a Buick! is there a factory dummy light for the water temp? That means it uses a sending unit for that, which you probably don't want to re-use, but will show you where it goes in the block. Look on the intake manifold.
