For the oil pressure, are you wanting to keep the light as well? If so you will need to get a tad creative with 1/8 pipe fittings and figure out a tee type set up from the OE location.

Volt meter, again not that bad. Tap into a few wires and done. Or I have read of these things that plug into the cig lighter that will read this as well.

If you use pipe nipple & tee, you should probably figure out some kind of bracket to hold all that stuff. If it hangs off of the pipe, it'll vibrate and over time might break off.

Also... some oil-pressure gauges have a sender unit which has an extra contact for the warning light. So in that case you only need the one sender.
