Scottiedont · **Gauges...**

I am lookin at getting 2 Gauges for my V6...I wanna get a Air Fuel, but i dont know what else to get...any ideas?...and are the Air Fuel ones hard to install?

Cajun JungleBoy · **Re: Gauges...**

also to add to the question... can you put gt face guages in a v6? i have the tuner, will that calibrate my speedo to comply with gt guages?

Scottiedont · **Re: Gauges...**

Scottiedont · **Re: Gauges...**

+1. The only way to monitor air fuel is to have a wideband commander type device that places a bung in your mid pipe to monitor it. As stated, the WBC will run you about 400 depending on where you pick it up.

Oil pressure probably wouldn't be a bad choice so you can know whether your pressure drops. Maybe a water temp guage instead of the highly accurate C-H scale that ford provides

I would get oil pressure and and crap, I don't know. If you don't have a power adder, there isn't really a whole lot of guages that are useful....maybe a better voltmeter...

I had the same problem trying to think of 2. Oil is a gimmie...but after that ?????

Oil pressure and water temperature. End of story.

I think the water temperature is probably most important due to the suckiness of the stock guages. I mean, H? How hot is H?

I like to know the exact temperature that my car is running at. Especially in the '90, which was on the borderline of running too hot for a long time.

DarkShadow · **Re: Gauges...**

But normaly if your thermostat is working properly, there is not going to be a major difference in temps. And if it is broken, you generally would know, lol.

Unless the car does have a tendency to overheat regardless like you said on the `90...

**bbunt302** · **Re: Gauges...**

The same could be said for oil pressure. As long as everything's working, there will be no major difference in pressure.

And if it's broken... I guarantee you that you'll know a lot quicker than you would if the car's overheating a little.

Whoops! There goes a rod!

I agree these are the 2 main gauges anyone will require.Autometer puts out a real inexpensive A/F gauge,but other than it's fancy lights,it isn't accurate.
