I installed the oil pressure and water temperature gauges yesterday. Now my set is complete. The challenge in installing these two gauges was installing their sending units.

With shipping, the total cost, from Summit Racing, was about $300. Without problems it should take an “amateur mechanic” like me about a day to install. Someone with experience doing this task could knock off at least a couple of hours. My first roadblock was because of my electrical ignorance. Since I have LED tail...
