Re: gauges???
I perfer a mechinal oil pressure guage and the rest to be electrical but thats just my preference. Id go all electrical to make it cheaper and simpler. Now ya just have to decide which brand to buy and btw most guages have the instructions inside the box along with the lights to light them all up.
