+1 on Autometer electric, eliminates the need for running lines and tubing, just need to run wiring and instail a sending unit.

true true....now we got that out of the way (going electric) what gauges does everyone use? as in oil temp/ water temp/ air-fuel/ oil pressure......and whatnot

[sunsetorangess]

Its depends on what you want to monitor, Your display should have voltage, oil pressure and coolant temp. All of the stockers are just "Estimates" but fairly close to the actual temp and pressure.
Some people also run a wideband 02, Trans Temp, and coolant temp or fuel pressure etc etc. If your running nitrous you can mount a bottle pressure guage, or if FI run a boost guage.

I don't have any pics of.my 5.0'S anymore and I haven't got.around to installing them in the TA yet since I haven't done the cam or stall yet. Plan on a wideband 02,trans and oil temp.
