I bought the din plate Akiratdk makes... and I don't know what guages to get to fill the holes..???

I already have a Fuel Pressure Gauge and an Air / Fuel Gauge installed in my A-pillar dual pod.

What's most important..? Thnx.

Oil temp, Oil pressure, and water temp seem to be the most common

Agree with Max, then I would add water temp, fuel pressure and the A/F, cover all the usual problem starters. get high quality gauges, dont mess with junk they react too slowly. Fuel pressure is often installed under hood but I like to be able to see it if I have a failure before I overrev a starved engine

I have a fuel pressure gauge under the hood coming out of the regulator... but I have a fuel pressure gauge with the isolator to watch it while I'm driving too. All my gauges so far are Autometer Z Series.

Oil temperature sounds like a good one... being my stock oil pressure gauge from the factory seems to work fine. Where's the best spot to pick up the temp for the oil..??

What's up with the stock water temp gauge...?? No good..???

i dont know about other people's, but my water temp guage only goes up less than 1/4 of the way when it's fully warmed up. So I'll be getting a water temp guage, along with oil temp. and press. when I get my console plate

I like an accurate gauge with actual temperatures on it that I can trust to tell me the truth, the factory gauge is 20 years old, has no actual temperatures listed and has probably a lower standard than Autometer would provide.

yeah i hate that!! I want to know the exact temperature, not weather it's "hot" or "cold"

for water temp, stay away from sunpro, autogage, or those without a sealed sending lines. they are unreliable since it picks up additional heat for the engine bay specailly during stop and go traffic. Autometer and Stewart & Warner are good but very expensive. IMHO, a set of Equus ($40 for a triogague) is good enough. I have been using them for almost a year now with no problem.

What about VDO. I've heard Autometer is junk.

VDO or Autometer are about equal quality, both are very good, note Autometer is used by most professional race teams
