I had my sidepipes and valve seals done ....and now my oil and water gauges don't work.The guy said he didn't mess with them.....they worked when I took the car in .Dose anyone have a drawing or can you tell me where they plug in at on the motor so I can check to see if they are still connected.

The oil pressure sending unit is right above the oil filter.
The temp sending unit is between the front two spark plugs on the driver side.
He may not have messed with them, but the wires could have gotten too close to the exhaust, and melted....but it's more likely they got unplugged for the install.
