What extra gauges do you have?

Im going to get a couple autometer guages and the only one I feel I "need" is an oil pressure gauge.

Which ones do you have? Do you find them useful?

LT1 Scanmaster- invaluable tool
5" sport comp tach w/ shift light- very useful
Nitrous pressure gauge- very useful
Pod w/ phantom air/fuel ratio gauge- oooh pretty lights

I have a tranny temp gauge and an oil pressure gauge.

I tried hooking up the tranny one today, the light works but the needle doesnt move. I used the same wires to connect both the light and the gauge to power and ground too. I havent driven it that much though but would it stay under 100 degrees?

The oil pressure gauge is not hooked up also. Maybe tomorrow if I can figure out the tranny one first.

I worked on a guys 93Z today that had oil temp and tranny temp gauges on the A pillar.

On a side note, I looked in the latest summit magazine today, and Autometer has a new line of gauges. They are called "Cobalt" and have some nice cobalt blue touches to them. I think that color on the gauges would look bad assed on the A pillar of a Quasar blue colored car(like mine)

I have the Nordskog all digital gauges in the dash so I dont need the newer oil, volt,or temp gauges. In the column I have a Nordskog digital tach, tranny temp, and a/f ratio.

Matt: I would seriously consider an electric fuel pressure gauge. Ofcourse, it IS the most expensive one .

Ya, Summit teases ya w/ the $50 price tag.

Matt,
In your case, I'd get the oil and fuel. Or if you are trying to "fill" a spot, get the A/F not all that functional, but looks cool. Then when funds are avail., get the fuel (and sell me the A/f one ).

Volts, Boost. AutoMeter Phantom series...

Also have an oil pressure gauge, but I probably won't install it in the Eclipse as I'd originally intended...
