im also interested in how much that stock gauge cluster replacement cost including the gauges.[/align][/align]im about to get 3 Sport Comp II gauges. water temp, oil pressure, and then either volts or fuel pressure. prolly all electric, but the only fuel rpessure gauge i have seen that can go inside your car and not under the hood only goes to 15 psi, and you have to have an isolatore for it. dont 5.0's idle at like 30ish psi?? [/align][/align]heres a site that i found really easy to check out gauges and actually has some decent prices..[/align]http://www.egauges.com/default.asp[/align]^has a LOOOOOT of gauges. all the brands.[/align]

I wouldnt do a fuel pressure gauge that didnt use an electric sender. Because, all the others require you to run a gas line in your car. Holley makes one that uses a sender. Thats the only one I have seen that uses a sender. But I dunno' if it will work for FI.

Go here for those gauge clusters and housings. http://www.florida50.com/1987-1993-i...t-clusters.htm
I would suggest just to buy their blank panel and make your own holes. Find a deal on some gauges somewhere else. But, if you would rather fork out the cash instead of doing it yourself. THey got some great clusters.

I made mine from the stocker, in case you didnt know.

My fuel pressure (mounted in center vent along with n2o pressure) uses a glycol isolator. Underhood I have a diaphram that has fuel pressure on one side and coolant on the other side. So fuel does not run to the interior, only antifreeze. I recommend it, but place it carefully. On a really hot day (100 or more) the fuel begins to boil in the isolator and my pressure gauge will begin to climb on a hot soak.
