what gauges should I get??

[95Mustang302]

Ok, I want to get the clock pod gauge cluster to replace my clock since it doesn't work. I plan on goin NA for the most part on the car in the near future...

Was wondering what two gauges people suggest to put into the pod???

water temp and oil pressure.

H2O temp and Oil Pressure, without a doubt. Also, I would highly recommend a mechanical oil pressure gauge because of its direct reading from the engine. No worries about a faulty electric sending unit.

where can you get those two gauges in the proper size?

Summit, Ebay, Jegs wherever you want. You need 2 1/16 inch gauges.

ok, why do you reccomend these gauges, simply becaue the stock ones are not very accurate?? also, where can I put them so that my stock gauges still work, I hate having dead gauges, especially since I'm going to blow money on some white faced gauges...

if you have an aftermarket intake there are plenty of extra holes for the water temp. but for the oil pressure you have to do some rigging to make both gauges work.

yeah, i'm mostly stock, no new intake...

 

[mootang]

i'm not sure if the stock intake has extra holes, but i don't remember it having any.

so, what should I do, still get the gauges, or get something else?

or leave dead gauges in my dash?

it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the gauges. thats one of the things that i will be getting pretty soon.

I put in a water temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge (both electric). I installed a replacement thermostat housing that had a place for a sensor. I then followed one of the many articles on installing dual oil sensors (with parts from home depot). So now both sets of gauges work.

 

[95Mustang302]

is that a good place for the temp sensor, and where did you get it, and what brand and price??

also do you have a link to the dual oil sensor "how-to"?
