I would like to add gauges to my interior, i have a 83 interior. What are the most practical gauges to add in the car ?

Oil pressure ?
Oil temperature?
Water Temperature?
A/F Ratio?

And where could i put them in the car? on the dash, or on a dual gauge pod like the FDs generally have ?

Depending on the stereo setup you have, you can mount guages in a space filler under the stereo, check www.rotorhead.ca .. Manntis' site. He's got 'em

actually... here is the exact page:

As for most useful in tuning: A/F mixture guage and Exhaust Gas are the best. The other temp/pressure ones you have stock are good enough

Yeah, if you like highly inaccurate gauges...

I would get water temp, oil pressure, and air fuel ratio. Maybe voltage too depending on how many you want. After that, oil temp, EGT, etc.

Thats just my opinion though.

i thought egt and a/f ratio gauges serve the same purpose?

what about those a-pillar mounts they sell at autozone? has anyone used those?

 

the a/f gauges are pretty much useless...more for looks. Unless you have a wideband o2 it will only give u a general idea.. I mounted mine where the factory clock used to be.

 

thanks guys! BTW, i have a 83 GS, and i only have a jvc cd player, i'll post pics of my console and then you could help me out for the emplacement of the gauges.

I remember you put one on lucky where the air ventilation was ? sorry for my bad english lol

 

TJ ? do you have pics of your interior with your gauge i think it was oil pressure ?
