I already have the /6 dash guagues but not the center console guages (voltmeter & oil temp).
I am not totally sure my oil pressure guague works properly, but I digress... What I want to know is, would it be be advantageous to have all these guagues (and working of course)? What are the most important secondary guagues (not Spedo & Tach) for these cars? |

Discussed recently, and there are a lot of opinions. IMHO, more info is always better, as you can (with experience) diagnose a budding problem by checking gauges against each other.
At a minimum, some temp gauge (oil or CHT) and some indication of oil pressure (light or gauge). A voltmeter is a nice to have, but the alt light will get you 90% of the way there, with some failed system usually telling you there's an electrical problem w/o requiring a voltmeter. I would go with a CHT over an oil temp gauge, if the choice comes down to that. I'd have a temp gauge over a pressure gauge, between those two (but I'd at least have a light for pressure). Why do you feel your oil pressure gauge isn't working? What readings are you getting? |
