I have a 3 gauge VDO pod on top of my gauge cluster that has Oil Pressure. Vacuum, and Oil Temp gauges from VDO. One tip I learned the hard way, if you set up a vacuum gauge with the 15-16 feet of hose from the engine to the dash, use very small diameter hose. I initially used 1/8" copper and that was eventually replaced with the real small diamerter flexible plastic line( sorta the size stuff you used to see on air shocks). The smaller diameter hose requires much less vacuum draw from the engine and I seem to remember that the gauge needle responded quicker too. Might not be an issue if the engine was up front, but.....
