DON'T DO IT!!! I did and am sorry for it. If you want mine cheap, they're coming off soon and being replaced with the ProMINI gauges. They're more expensive, but more useful. I may, however, consider the OEM gauges for the console.

Just checked out the PROMINI guage pod...looks great. Are they autometre guages?

Also, how do you hook up the oil pressure?

Yes, they appear to be by Autometer. I bought my gauges from www.egauges.com at a discount. No ALTA pod, but as I said, will be putting them in the OEM holders.

The gauges come with all sensors and wires required. Typically, the oil pressure sending unit screws in where OEM oil temp sensor is now, then separate wires feed idiot light in speedo and oil pressure gauge. Same for oil temp and water temp.

Update. I just had the OEM console gauges installed. VDO oil temp and voltage. They look good, especially at night with interior lighting on. I've always liked VDO more than Autometer, but that's from years ago. I figured the water temp "gauge" in the speedo is sufficient. I still have not switched the gauges at the tach. I'm reading now that oil pressure hook-up is more complicated due to heavy sensor and motor vibration, so mounting it to an adjacent engine bay wall or other rigid part is necessary.

How about the pod? i mean the OEM product except the gauges? Is it good or is the ALTA one better to put gauges in?
