    The brand is jdm. I got em on eBay.

    Oil pressure gauge.
    Oil temp gauge
    And vacuum gauge.

    The ones I'm gettin are not digital.
    They are mechanical.
    I'm goin to mount them on the vents for the a/c. I got dot done already.
    I just need to knw how to plug em or where to get the power from.
    When they are off. U can't see anything, the lights come on when the switch is open.

    I hope this helps.
    Thank u for the help

    Why a vacuum gauge?

    Get the following:
    Wideband A/F Ratio
    Fuel Pressure
    Water Temp

    Pull the power from the fuse box buy the drivers door. Run a single power wire to a small junction box. Individually fuse them and common ground. Done.

    Ls1camino is right. those are the 3 you want.

    If they are "mechanical" gauges, make sure you have a "metal" line for the oil temp, if you use a plastic line, sooner or later it is going to leak oil.

    Need some help,
    To install the oil temp and oil pressure. I need something called, "oil filter adapter sandwich plate."
    Where do I buy that?
    I saw one on eBay. It says it's universal. Are they all the same?
    Thanks

    There is a port on the fuse box labeled "IGN". Take a blade connector (pictured below, top left), crimp your power wire (that splits later to go to different gauges) into it and push the blade into the IGN port. It will hold bery well and will not easily come out.

    No, it's on the driver's side of the dash. Open the driver door and there is a little panel that is not visible if the door is closed. Open it and you'll see your fuses for lights and interior stuff.

    The engine bay fuse boxes are for stuff like your starter, fans, etc.
