hi, I have got some extra after market gauges like digital tachometer oil water temp and pressures and volt reader.

and look like I was wrong when I thought it's easy to install, I can't get anything of what the manual says,. and I spend few days looking around the internet and youtube maybe I could find something , but I could not . so I am here asking for help as I could not even find a good auto shop to fix them for me . -__-

I am sure at least one of you guys did install some gauges before, can anyone please help me with direction of how to get these gauges installed. gauges I have now "all digital "

1-tachometer
2-oil temp
3-oil pressure
4-water temp
5-voltmeter

Are the temp and oil gauges mechanical or electronic? I'm not sure what you asking; like how to hook the gauges up or...etc.

FYI, I've installed all of those gauges plus a vacuum gauge and would like to say that those gauges are all a hell of a lot of trouble when you can buy The Bully Dog Watch Dog digital gauge that plugs into you OBD 2 port.

The oil pressure gauge Mech or Electro you gonna have to jack the car up, put on stands, remove oil pressure switch, find some brass fittings and decide if you want to live with a check engine light for the lack of Oil pressure switch or put into the brass fittings. Oily mess.

The Temp gauge, there are adapters you buy off of ebay to incorporate in your coolant hose so it would be wise to leave your stock temp sensor or sensors where they belong.

I'm sure you can find an Add-A-Fuse underneath the dash knee bolster to light the gauges.

The tach, I'm thinking should be able to add to the Coil On plug, someone correct me If I'm wrong...

Ahhhh, the P-51 Cockpit look!!!

all of them are Electronic ones, as for the model if you are asking about the car, its 2003 GT V8
if as for gauges, they are Dragon gauges , I know , cheap china junk , but after some reading look like they are good for the price you pay for them .

Did the "Dragon" gauges come with instruction sheets?

well, yea, but they are not good nor help in my case LOL, they are so general , while I need a a step by step maybe some photos, some charts etc...
I have already done alot of damage to the car system for "playing" with it without knowing the right steps..
