Is there any guages that are less expensive AND accurate. I was looking over at Napa Auto parts at some ammeter,oil pressure,water temp,oil temp and tach/&adapter and speedo(don't really need) after I was convinced on the ones I wanted... I got a serious case of sticker shock (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) close to $850 for all Autometer. Sshhhhoooo

Darn I wanted to just replace all the guages with trustworthy accurate ones and reinstall in a more visable area for those quick looks w/o having to look through the hand/wheel.

So does anybody know where I can get something w/o gettin bent over?links? Something I can hook up in our cars easy for a noob.Something that lets say the lines come long enough,or made for, etc.

Also I have heard and(havnt looked or noticed yet (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ) that above the oil filter there is a plug of sorts that can be used for the oil temp guage sensor that I want to have.True?And I assume the oil pressure can just be put in the exsisting oil sensor hole. And the same for the water temp..just pull the electric exsisting and screw in the new one?
I don't feel confident in drilling my block at this time I question the whole deal w/ my ignorance as in metal shavings getting in and worries like that. Damn I need build your own Camaro racecar book (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Please help me figure this out.

OK thanks, So far I am gonna get the oil pressure in at the plug above oil filter(Jon A. showed that adapter (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

And the oil temp in at the pan (low oil sensor location)but I cant find Waynes post so I need that adapter size.Or if Mikes hogging out low sensor works I may do that.

And the coolant temp I'm just gonna go into the driverside head at the stock sensor location. Need adapter size for that also. But the headers(pacesetter) I get might screw with that idea right or wrong? If so I can just "T" one of the heater lines that are looped together and put it in the T,right? what would you do?

And the tach I have no info on where to connect it to,and the store says I need this adapter to convert signal.But I would like to get a Tach thats compatable w/ our cars w/o adapters.

I'm on the fence w/ the volt meter don't think I really need that one just continue to use stock one.

I know one of the guages for the oil temp or oil pressure has a low oil level sender w/it as an extra so the oil guages locations may be switched.Depends on whitch one has the low oil w/ it,should be put where the stock low oil level is now if I'm thinking right.

How does this sound?Suitable correct? Any of these unanswered question anybody can answer I'd appreciate the help thanx.
