Default What gauges for 72 Nova

I guess now is good time to go to electric gauges. What are some of the easiest to install? What else would I need to install them? I have looked at some 6 gauge sets from autometer, Marshal's, Classic Industries.

Show pics of what you have used and tell me what like or dislike about them.
Thanks

Is the "x-box thing" used for adapting the original gauges?

Yep, it sends out the electronic signal needed for the computer, but also spins the cable.

I would love dakota digital, but out of my budget for quite a while

I have all autometer gauges with the covan dash panel.
5" tach and the electronic speedo which was a snap to calibrate
2-1/8" mech. oil/fuel/volts and electric temp.
I had all the gauges b4 the swap except the electric temp and electronic speedo..

I had my harness reworked by speartech so it was only 1-wire from the reworked harness to the tach to make it work.... Everything was labled from them so it was simple to hook up..
