RE: gauge install question!!!
they come with instructions.... wire the light bulb + to the dash dimmer - to ground....then the gauge to pos/ground/signal... the hard part is routing the wires.... i just did mine on the a pillar...

i have electrical oil pressure, and volt (duh) meters, and a vacuum gauge in the a-pillar...i have a mecanical water temp gauge in the a/c vent.... common to all gauges you just have to wire the bulb wires together, and wire the all the gauge +/- wires together....electrical gauges just have a single wire to go to a sender, mechanical gauges have a full 270* needle sweep but have a hard (copper, nylon tube) signal line, usually with a fat bolt/nut on the end to fish through the firewall....
