so here pretty soon im going to be buying gauges and clusters. i will be running a vortech setup, so i will have a/f and boost/vac obviously. now i only want to run two more gauges, dont want it to look like a cockpit in there.

what i want to know is which two of these should i run. fuel pres, oil pres or water temp. all are important but i cant narrow down which two to run.

You can pretty much negate the fuel pressure gauge. Your A/F gauge will tell you if your having a fuel system issue, or data logging will tip you off.

Oil pressure is the big one.

i say oil and fuel pressure. you already have a water temp gauge in your stock cluster.

thats what i was thinking, but im no expert on this. im learning as i go.


also isnt the water temp on the gauge cluster basically a dummy gauge like the oil pressure?

Here's some pics of the gauge pod I bought from Autometer. It bolts right in to the dash using the bolts hold in HVAC controls.

thanks looks good

i already know what pods im getting. the SOS pillar pod and the dual autometer cluster bezel.

They make a couple that hide the gauges. I'm not a fan of the pillar pod they draw to much unwanted attention from cops out here in Cali.
There's the steering column, and the stock gauge bezels but has two holes for aftermarket gauges.
