List of gauges for a custom dash. *UPDATE* PIC POST 26

*sorta hijack*

I would like to see what my oil temps are after coming off the highway cruising at 3K rpm for extended periods of time. The oil pressure still drops down to about 12psi even with a recently installed high volume pump. Where as normal idle oil psi is 20 with cruising always 40 or more.
 
My oil temp doesn't change with idle or cruising speeds. Once it reaches 180* it stays right there no matter what i'm doing unless i pull a hill then it will go up slightly but drop right back once leveled out.
 
I would run

Speedometer
Tachometer
Oil pressure
Oil temp
Water temp
Tranny temp
Volts
Fuel


***UPDATE***



Above is exactly what I ordered today in Autometer's ULTRALITE II series gauges in their NEW BIG 2 5/8 diameter size. Before they only made them in 2 1/16. There NOT even out yet but they are expected to ship to distributors in June. I contacted an Autometer rep and thats what I was told. They said to get an order in asap cause their shipping back orders first. I ordered them from Jegs. It says four weeks for the new size to ship on Jegs site. Boy did I drop some coin to the tune of $1088.XX !!! The tach & speedo are the 5" gauges. I will be making some progress on my Aluminum dash real soon.
 
Nice I plan on doing the same and running
Speedo
Tach
Fuel Level
Oil Pressure
Volts
Water Temp
Air Pressure for on board air


Running an sm465 so no need for trans temp, plan on running fuel pressure under the hood and as far as oil temp goes I feel water temp and oil pressure is enough.... What uses are there for the vac gauge other then being informed of a leak...
I know there a little on the cheesy side but I want to run http://prosportgauges.com/ except they dont offer all the gauges I need :( They look sweet though totally blacked out when not in use....

Actually oil temp I didn't realize was in that list. I did not order that one. I will get an on board air gauge when I have on board air.
 
Got a couple of gauges for now. Going to have to wait for the rest to be delivered in June. Ultralite II 5" tach & speedo.
