Default gauge questions

looking to buy some gauges.

I have 2 questions.

1. should I get oil pressure or oil temp gauge?

2. on my fuel level gauge which of these 3 should I get for my 87 5.0
the difference in the 3is the sender ohm range which I have no idea which one will work for my swap...

oil pressure. oil temp is only really important on certain types of engines like high boost turbo cars and such

When I was shopping for gauges, I went to Autometer's site...

They have a cool "Advanced Guage Search" on there...check it out!

I already know what I want, just don't know what the difference between which fuel level to get for my mustang, theres 3 of them that are the exact same, just different ohms levels

1. 0-90 ohms
2. 73-10 ohms
3. 240-33 ohms

My oil temp gauge in my 96 was pretty much bull****... You had to drive for like an hour for it to ever come up any... If you want something that moves, i'd go with air fuel ratio or water temperature... The oil pressure is constant in a ford, only the volume is suppose to change...
