Default Agreed>>>>
but as far as gauges go, Oil temp, voltage, A/F or EGT gauge...in that order. The A/F and EGT would be for cars that are highly modded. IMO

Default Steve... that voltage gauge, does it show what the battery is putting out?
It would be nice to know when to charge these darn batteries...

Default An accurate Voltage gauge will give you a lot of info...>
Resting battery voltage which gives you an overall picture of battery health...12.5 and up is good. It will also indicate charge voltage when running. After sitting this will be around 14V and gradually drop to 13.6 or 13.7 when the battery is fully charged and the car running..
