aftermarket gauges. I want to install, water temp, oil pressure, and battery voltage. i have a spot in mind to mount all three. just wondering where you guys plugged into.
im going to do analog gauges, and mount them in my dash in the three holes where vents go (95 formula)
as far as voltage i believe that’s pretty straight forward
with water and oil however i’m not 100% sure. i want to do this right.
furthermore, what gauges have you guys used? keep in mind i’m going for analog. Thank you

I use Autometer analog. Several styles to choose from.
I use the "sender" type oil gauge, not the mechanical type you run a thin tube line of oil into the car/gauge.
You will need to tap into a "key on/motor on" circuit to activate gauge, ground, wire to new temp, amp & oil gauge and if you want the gauge lights to come on/dim like your dash gauge you need to tap into that wire/circuit. If you just want them on all the time than you can use the key on circuit to also run the gauge light
Another gauge option is Speedhut. Very good gauges and you can custom order bezels & trim ring color/font.
