What do I need w/ Gauges

[BlackHawkA4]

If I get something like this



Will I need to buy wires for everythign seperate or are there exsisting wires for this stuff?

you will need to remove and replace the original oil and water senders on the engine to use those.
If they are mechanical, they should come with everything you need. if they are electric, they may or may not come with the sensors you have to install, and those you hook to the guage with your own wire. Volts hooks up easy to any power source.
Check the stickey at the top here for details.

Alright thanks. I didn't see anything in there about if I needed anyting extra besides the senders. Maybe I missed it.

you'll probably need a good drilla and a drill bit too

That's no problem.

get electirc gauges, not mechanical like you have selected. You'll thank yourself later!

[Freshmeat]

Get mechanical gauges. I hate electric- too many wires and I avoid electrical anything at all costs (as long as it doesn't affect performance).

What you selected will work really well and they're a good price. I'd say go for them.

I greatly disapprove of mechanical oil pressure guages ESPECIALLY when used with that shitty nylon hose. I've seen more than one person have it break, causing a massive oil slick mess in the engine compartment. Just imagine if it comes apart inside the car. A gallon of oil does not do good things to your interior. If you're gonna insist on mechanical guages, do yourself a favor and get copper or braided stainless hose. Or, do one better, and buy these nice police package guages that I have sitting around. They're electric but can be installed rather nicely above the glovebox.

[85crownHPP]

yeah... bringing a thin plastic line of 50 psi oil into the interior of the car never sounded good to me.
No beef with a mechanical temp gauge, except the sender is very big and hard to pass through the firewall.

[Freshmeat]

I had no problems passing my sender through the firewall.
I've had my oil pressure gauge installed for 3.5 years now and haven't had a problem.

[BlackHawkA4]

What is the price difference?

[Freshmeat]

Mechanical gauges are twice the price, minimum.

[BlackHawkA4]

Well if the mechanical ones are twice the price and have the risk of shooting oil in my car... I'll go with the electric ones.

[BlackHawkA4]

Well actually the mech ones are cheaper. The gagues are the same amount of money. The mech ones come with everythigni though.

42 for half sweep
62 with full sweep.

Have all the line.
