I'm attempting to think out my gauges. Of course I want Oil Pressure. And Water temperature. And with all this new exhaust system, an AFR gauge is a good idea. Matter of fact, a readout for each side is an even better idea. I know there are double gauges. Trans temp? Never hurts to have more information. Vacuum gauge? Maybe just for tuning and establishing things,but still has a value to it. Volt gauge for charging? So now we are up to what, 6-7 gauges? Do they make a double temperature gauge? One for engine temp, and one for trans temp? So I need an AFR gauge? They seem like a great addition to help tuning, but do I need one while I drive around? I'm hoping for a 3 gauge combo, double AFR, Oil pressure, Double temp both trans and engine. Is that even possible? Am I setting myself up for a $500 set of gauges ? It's going to be a fresh 455 in a 67 skylark with a fresh TH400. Oil pressure and Engine temp are the two main requirements.
I have Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Voltmeter, and Fuel Pressure. I also have an Air Fuel gauge in a pod under the glove box corner and a vacuum gauge inside the glove box. I think a transmission temperature gauge is unnecessary if you have a good cooler. I have one of Jim's 9.5" converters and I have never seen temps over 160* measured with an IR gun at the cooler and trans pan.
