I tried to warn you about those amish people who sell gauges.

Fred, just take the gauge panel out and wire it on your kitchen table where its simple to do, you can do a really neat job wile enjoying your favorite beverage, if your trying to wrestle it together under the dash just kill yourself now and save the head ache

Like I said before, certain gauges I prefer mechanical to work without power.

For the electric ones, I wire them all together in the gauge panel (on the bench), and then just run one set of wires from the gauge panel for connection to the car (positive, negative, light). Each sensor wire gets to making it a lot of wires between the gauge panel and the car. And that makes maintenance a pain.

what's volt meter





fred, all my car has a voltmeter if your running a alternator, you need to know where your voltage is at startup to see if you need to charge more between rounds.
