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.

Are you removing the dash or something? If not, why all redundant the guages?

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) correct me if I'm wrong.But the stock tach is not that accurate, I don't trust the oil pressure or any of the guages on this old car,I cant tell what the oil temp is now and since I am doing this why not get a water temp(maybe more accurate) for the same area all in one spot. I don't see it as redundant I see it as wanting to be sure I am getting correct readings something reliable. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
And I have had problems trying to look thru the steering wheel on track as in focus time thru the hands,cant stand it. I want everthing in my face to the right.

To answer if I'm removing dash no, but I would like just a metal simple dash across the front with just tach and guages and swithes installed,quick release wheel and so on like stock cars I've seen but...maybe later.
