I know this has been hashed over again and again, but some may have changed their minds as to what they got and what they should have gotten.

I know most went with Oil Press and Water Temp.....even though it is to make up for the idiot lights dressed up as gauges, it still seems kind of redundant.

Some went with a wide band O2 but if you are not tuning with it, why?

I do not have a blower, so boost is not needed, but maybe a vacuum gauge would work (If so how or where do you hook it up at?)

How about a oil Temp gauge? How does it hook up to our 4.6 oil pans with out taking it off or what ever?

I have a SVT diff cover, is it designed for diff temp gauge?

Cylinder head temp requires drilling and tapping.

So what should I get? Also include what type of autometer? Cobalt, sport comp., sport comp II

Thanks

 

Boring answer...
I thought about gauges and decided on nothing.
The water temp. gauge does sort of do something.
The oil press. is on or off. (still good to know)
There is an oil temp sensor (you can't see a gauge,but the computer can).
Except for a boost gauge or a wideband O2 gauge the other stuff is read by the computer and if it gets outrageous the computer puts the car into limp mode and then you check the codes to find out what happened.
It sound kinda boring and I like to know what is going on but the truth is it is not 1965 anymore and unless you are on the track hour after hour you don't need them.
Sorry I replied, but I was bored.

 

I was looking for the look of 1965, I agree the computer does it all now.

I had hoped to order the new shelby set up, but they never made it available.

I have ordered the following:

Auto meter Stage 1 shift light
" " digital volt meter
" " A/F ratio gauge. (yea, I know it is more for looks, but WTH).
