I just bought this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...d=1,1&item=8064220997&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT) and was wondering what gauges everyone thought I should get. im thinking a full sweep water temp gauge (cause my current temp gauge goes crazy every once in a while), and a real oil pressure gauge so I dont have just a dummy light anymore.

Temp. and oil pressure are the two most vital ones everyone should have....... including me I'll get them in good time...

:OT: (kinda) ... is there an advantage to full sweep gauges other than looks? Just wondering, cause I'm getting a new WT gauge myself.

personally I like to know my (real) Rpm's, water temp and oil pressure. Than I would think about volts and vacume/boost gauge.

no advantage of them, just looks, unless your running ungodly cold or hot, or high and low pressures

I say Fuel pressure and Vacuum

You already know the relative temp and oil pressure (the gage isn't accurate, but you know what's too high or too low in either case)

Well the advantage I see with a full sweep is that you can read them more accurately.
