Gauge CLuster Rebuild with Auto Meter
I'm going to use Auto Meter gauges instead of the stock gauge cluster that doesnt work and I'd like full sweeping gauges. Anway, I found a really good deal on a Fuel pressure gauge that can mount in side the car and would work well for me ( Carburated, only 7psi ). Problem is I dont want any Pillar gauges which usually the fuel pressure would go, Im thinking about not using the Oil temp gauge. How important is that gauge? Already going to have a water temp gauge so would the oil temp be that much of an issue if I dont have it?

I like to have both oil and water temp. nice to know...
fuel pressure? gee... that's not uber-important... but it could help you ID a starvation problem if cornering causes cutouts.
This'll help, too!

I'm trying to base mine on that link to, but about 8 months ago I started a thread asking for the link to that site and another person posted a picture of his remake of the cluster. He used 5 inch speedo and Tach and had the water temp in the middle of the two. Then used the rest of the gauges, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Fuel Level and then Volts where the switch panel and the engine lights and so on are located next to it. Total 7 gauges. Thats what I plan on doing but I can find that thread anymore every since the forum changed over to the newer style. Anyway, reason for the fuel pressure gauge is that over 3000rpm it feels like the engines not making any power and the local speed shops tells me to have a friend jump in and watch the gauge, but first I need an indash gauge, and make the car running again of crouse.
