When i install my two gauges what fuse do you guys wire them to and where do you wire them so they light up. where can i also find paint to paint my pod the same as my interrior. (sorry for the questions i just want to know the right way the first time)

You need a 12+ volt switched ignition source which you can pull out of the fuse panel block on the side of the dash to actually power the gauges. As for the ground, you should be able to find a bolt or screw that is screwed into the chassis sheetmetal. Once you remove the panel that is below the steering wheel, you should find a couple. As for the gauge lighting, there are a few sources you can pull from the dimmer circuit fuse in the fuse block, the headlight switch, or the instrucment panel dimmer switch.

I remember reading that the test port on the tranny, will give you the reading of the case temperature rather than the fluid itself, because the fluid doesn't reach all the way up there. Not sure that makes much of a difference, but I am going to put mine here:
