Which gauges are the least troublesome/easier to install? I'm looking into the **transmission temp., **oil temp., **engine temperature, **engine pressure, fuel pressure, fuel level, pyrometer or voltmeters gauge. It'd be cool if someone could classify them from easiest to hardest to install. I'm doing it just for looks, but I'd prefer the one's with a star for actual looks and use. Thanks in advance.

hard to easy, i think....
anything fuel is hard since it runs through the cabin and you risk the fumes.

engine pressure? never heard. perhaps oil pressure.

pyrometer, oil temp and tranny temp (never heard) comes next as you have to drill a hole into the exhaust manifold, oil pan, and perhaps the tranny? but its all cake from there on. last would be voltmeter since there is no drilling needed.

Thanks a lot. I guess I'll be installing the oil pressure and transmission temp. gauge; if not the engine temp. gauge. Which two would you guys install or already have?

i would install the tranny temp because it is one of the simpler to install since you can relatively easily place a sensor at the tranny fluid line going into the radiator.
check this thread to see what im talking about

personally if i had to choose two gauges i would do tranny fluid temp and an air/fuel gauge.

Has anyone had any leaks or problems after installing a transmission or oil gauge. Or for the sake of my research, has anyone had problems after installing any kind of gauges? Please let me know. Thanks in advance. =o)
