I think I wanna get some gauges and put them in a gauge pillar because it looks really neat and it would be nice to have some extra info. I want to get a triple gauge pillar. I have already decided on two, trans temp and A/F ratio.

So...What should I do for a third gauge? I was thinking fuel pressue but it's $215!!! Anyone?


I also have some questions:

1) Will a mechaical fuel pressure gauge work instead of electrical? Is it nearly as accurate? As difficult to install? It's about $170 cheaper too.

2) Do all gauges come with proper senders? I was looking at the AutoMeter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lites.

3) Is an Oil Temp gauge basically the same thing as a engine temp gauge?

4) Is a Water Temp gauge any good? Is it really that important to know?

5) Is it fairly easy to install gauges?

6) If I buy a gauge pillar, can I count on it being the same color as the rest of the interior?

Thanks a lot! Please feel free to just quote this and put the answers below the questions. Thanks!!!

1) NOT a good idea to run fuel into the cabin. In a wreck? Think about it.
2) no alot of times you have to adapt them to your application.
3) no one is the temp of the coolant in the water jacket the other is the temp of the oil in the pan.
