Wiring Gauges.. Questions..

Hey guys,

What are some gauges that you can install that are simple enough to install? Most don't seem hard to install, but it's finding the right wire to wire them into that is hard.. I have 3 gauges in there now (the normal volt, temp and pressure), but are all duds. They're wired to light up, but none of them actually read out. I want to either get these to work, or just buy new Auto Meter ones and wire them up to work. I saw a How-To for a Voltmeter, but how about for anything else? Wiring for power isn't hard, I just want to know the proper wire to run a signal from for any type of gauges. Any assistance?

Thanks!!

I have a Autometer Cobalt series Oil Pressure gauge that i installed not to hard here is a picture of where it is installed:



Its is installed on the drivers side of the block, you can feel a galley plug by a whole bunch of harnesses and such just virtually straight down from the oil cover.

So do you have to put it in place of something else? When you initially remove it, will anything come out? I've never done more to the block than change plugs and oil.. lol
