Im installing custom gauges in the cockpit. Bezel has speedo, fuel level, oil pressure, volts, water temp. tach mounted on steering column. Im going to install 2 more gauges in the center console im building.

Question is what do you think are the next 2 most important gauges?

thanks,

Only other one I can think of is an Air/Fuel gauge.

 

Hey. I have a question. I do not have my Battery Gauge hooked up. How do you hook one up in a 65 mustang? Do I connect the positive directly to the battery or what?

Thanks

 

Vacuum and oil temperature.

 

You could always run a Trans Temp Gauge.

 

trans temp might not be a bad idea

air/fuel is a great idea but at $300...

fake...what does measuring vacuum tell me? and if my water temp is in check wouldnt my oil temp be ok as well? I cant see oil getting hot when water temp is good. But im a novice which is why I ask

thank you

Dan

 

Run a trans temp and a clock! LOL.

Never connect it directly to the battery. The gauge will drain the battery even if the car is off. Connect the positive lead of the gauge to a switched power source. I would suggest a wire comming from the ignition switch that gets power when the switch is in the "ON" position.

 

Trans temp and oil temp would be good ideas.
