Question Add guages ??

I've been thinking about adding some guages to monitor vitals while towing.

What is the best setup and most important guages to have.

Where should I put them and how much will it cost.

Tranny temp, real oil pressure, and water temp. Check out my gallery to see where I put mine.

The cost will vary widely. It depends on how much you want to spend.

I've got Air/fuel ratio, water temp, and oil pressure gauges on my A-piller. It's mounted with a plastic 3 pod cover. It comes black, my interior is gray with black accents, so I left it black and I think it looks good, good enough to not paint it, i'm happy. Mounted in them, are the Autometer Cobalt series gauges, which are very nice I love the look. I'm going to add a dimmer though because they're a little bright but no big deal. I'm waiting to hook them up to my new 393, it's going in within a week or so.

how easy would it be to add trans temp and oil temp electrical gauges and maybe oil pressure? how long did it take you and where do you have to connect them too? Is there any welding or anything like that?
