as far as the how to let me start by saying that you guys help with some of the questions thank you all. all the gauges are auto meter ultralite, the tach and the speedometer are 3 5/8 the fuel and volt are 2 1/16, the rest on the pod are 2 5/8 the fuel gauge is set up with a universal sender so it is a universal gauge, that got rid of the olhm problem the voltage (i used the ignition wire) gets its power from any power source, the tach is connected to the coil its a stock coil so ther wasnt a problem its connected to the green wire and it is easly set up for a 4 cyl by cutting two wires in the back of the gauge as per installation instructions. the speedometer is connected to the speed sensor in the tranny its pretty acurate too (that was were you guys came in and helped)the boost is connected to the vacum tree the water is connected to the engine under the intake the only one that is not connected is the oil pressure gauge dont know how to hook that one up i used color cordinated wires and color electrical tape to insure the accuracy of the project and read the instructions very carefully all the main wires get connected to the ignition and ground and the lighting goes connected to any nite lights i didnt use any of the wires from the gauge cluster the set up is dependent. i used female and mail connecters that are made for a hitch so i can easly disconnect the whole set up quickly to change bulbs or trouble shoot i used the drill bit that has the hole saw (dont know what its called)and drilled the holes on the plastic that hold the original gauges the speedometer and tach fit perfect so no drilling was needed then i cover the plastic with faux carbon fiber viynl, i no longer have the auto lights since i used that hole to run the wires and to place the pod but i never liked using them i was afraid it may malfuntion and drain the battery well thats about it hope that was usefull
