speedo
tach
fuel level
oil pressure
water temp

pyrometer
nah

fuel pressure
I cant remember what it is called but you need an adapter that uses coolant to run the fuel pressure inside the cabin. Besides, you will know if you're engine is flooding or lacking gas

speedo
for looks but stock is fine. Who looks at that thing anyway

tach
of course, if you're rev crazy like me

fuel level
double nah unless your gauge aint working

oil pressure
Must have

water temp
Must have

oil temp
for looks but not needed unless your its for track use

volt
Must have

air fuel
for looks. Use 2 volt meters instead. much cheaper

Oil pressure needs to be way up on that list. Unfortunately, there's not much room in the car, and I've had a hard time finding a way to get many gauges in there without it looking like ***.

Previous owner of my '2 put a couple gauges where the ashtray was in the center console, looks pretty nice. I got an old pic but it turned out bad, can get a more recent one if anyone needs to see it.
