Additional Guages to a saloon

[Chris Discombe Torquay]

Could anybody give me some guidance on a couple of future projects.
As per usual we are all looking to improve our cars , so i am looking to install a rev counter and oil pressure guage on my saloon.
The rev counter is to aid the setting up of the tick over as this seems to be vital in whether the auto box clunks into action or changes smoothly at take off or not. The addition of the oil pressure guage i would say is a useful aid to keep an eye on the engine performance.
Anyway , what i need to know as i have never fitted these items to a car before is how are they fitted and has anybody any recommendations as to guages to use and where best to site them and purchase them.

Many Thanks

A dash mounted rev counter is not accurate enough at low revs to use to set the idle.
My timing light, dwell meter also has a rev counter that is accurate at low revs to set idle revs.
I also wanted a rev counter and oil gauge so bought a set of coupe gauges and have fitted these. Looks more authentic than an after market gauge. But the impulse sending rev counter is also not very accurate and I am having it converted to current sensing. Will go to instrument guy on Friday and have back next week. I had fitted a cheep aftermarket current sensing rev counter in order to check gearbox change revs under kick down and when pushing car hard and also because I like a rev gauge almost any gauge will do choose one you like the styling off.

Another thing is that an oil pressure gauge will frighten you to death. Best not to have one !

Its very disconcerting to see it almost on nothing while sitting in traffic !
