I am buying my own gauges and was curious what gauges you guys think are the most important. I am assuming, Tach, speed, fuel level, but after those what's important to you? Thanks. I love the great advice that I get from these forums.

Vapor Cone, I've been told, occurs just as you break the sound barrier!

Is the warning light for the engine coolant temp? Is that something that comes with the deluxe pallet kit or did you add one?

the warning light is for low or no oil pressure, lets you know immediately that you need to shut things down. I had the oil pump drive shaft break in my 289 and didn't know I had no oil pressure until the rocker arms started squeeking.

Ouch. I will try to not let that happen. Thanks for the advice. Do you have a separate warning light or is it part of your gauge? Thanks again.

It is a separate light from the gauge, sits on the dash above the steering column. works off of a simple pressure switch.
