Default Pillar gauges?

Planning on doing driver side pillar gauges..looked on google found some with autozone? Not really sure how to wire them either. Trying to do Oil temp, Tranny temp, and fuel psi. Any help would be awesome.

I believe the PCM already monitors AT fluid temp. Not sure about fuel pressure or oil temp. Regardless, you can add a couple external sensors:

"The two analog inputs can be configured through menu choices. A linear conversion can be entered so that an analog signal connected to the gauge can be read in appropriate units. These inputs are handy for pressure signals such as those from MAP and oil pressure sensors, analog outputs from Air/Fuel ratio kits, etc. These signal can then be read and recorded along side the other parameters obtained on the vehicle's bus. "

Eventually I hope to put one of these in my car with a dual gauge pod, with a wideband AFR.

WB question, since I know he's knocking out forum questions today:

Is there a complete list somewhere of OBDII parameters/sensors that an interceptor gauge or scanner can monitor on a 98-02 F-body?

After a bit of research this is what I kept ending up finding.

That's a sample list of "common" parameters found on different vehicles, not specific to an F-body. It says this right above the list:

" Not all are supported by every vehicle, so there is no guarantee that the Interceptor will display all of these on your particular car or truck."

...well, maybe link to the PDF is somewhat more accurate.

I've read alot of good things about the interceptor gauge, can read alot of parameters with one gauge as opposed to having multiple gauges reading 1 parameter.

“g” suffix, such as “Intake Air g” simply means that this is a generic parameter and can be
