Not to sound stupid, but what would a volt gauge serve for?
I was thinkin a boost and EGT, merely for shut down purposes and for boost troubleshooting.

Redman it's not stupid....but here's my reason for voltmeter it gives you a picture of your charging system and battery . In plain english if the volts shows less than 12 then my charging system or my battery has problems . If the voltage is over 12 then I know the alternator is working correctly . Also the gage is helpful determining whether you have installed something that is drawing too much ie: speakers/subs etc.

Flash, I got the Autometer mechanical Water Temp gauge installed. You were right is is extremely easy to see what is going on with the cooling system with the mech unit. The factory elec gauge just sits @ midrange, but with the autometer I can see what is goin on at any time. I may be misguided here, but I always thought that it was better for peace of mind as well as diagnostic purposes the have accurate gauges. I currently have the Vac/Boost, EGT, Volts, Water Temp (mech), and Oil Pressure (mech). BTW I was able to find the 1/2" Tee, and an autometer probe adapter at the speed shop. Thanks for the pics and the guidance on installation.I was also able to fabricate a bracket to mount the sensor (Tee setup) beside the engine. I do not use the airbox, so I attached an L shaped bracket to the stud that holds the air box support to the frame and extended the bracket toward the engine. Attached the Tee assy to the bracket, and insulated between the TEE and the bracket so that the bracket would not act as a heat Sync. Used a little longer 3/8" water line (for a gentler loop in the hoses so as not to kink them) to run into and out of the Tee/temp sensor assy. I will try to get some pics to send. [:X]

Gear head no problem...please post pics as I'm not satisfied how mine is installed ...I need to get it out of the way for my aftermarket bov install . I think you'll get a much better idea what's going on with the mech temp gage....watch what the temp is after running hard you know why cooldown is important....but you already have a tt ....not sure if I'm gonna do that or not !
