I'm about to undertake the process of installing a trio of guages in my 82 air cooled van. I'm putting in an oil temp and oil pressure guage, but I can't decide on the third guage. Volts? Amps? Cylinder head temp? What do you folks suggest? The other possibility is using the third space for a 2 1/16 vdo clock, and replacing my big dash clock with the tach out of a newer van. How difficult a process is installing a watercooled tach in my aircooled van? Do other air cooled folks think having a tach is worthwhile? I would also be interested in seeing any pictures of peoples guage installations. tanks for your inpot bus people! greg, 82 vanagon westfalia, newly de-rusted, touched up, re-exhausted, tuned up and cleaned out. |
