This is the first step in my quest for a computer diagnostic setup for my
van.  Before I invest in expensive computer equipment, etc. I need to get the
senders that I will need to send the information to my analog gauges first
and then the computer system later.  So what I need to know is:
1.  Do I need VDO senders or is some other brand as good/cheaper or
better/same price or more expensive?
2.  Does anyone know of a electrical manifold pressure gauge and sender setup
(All I can find is mechanical).
3.  Has anyone ever used the "Fuel to Air Ratio" gauges that use your oxygen
sender as the sender for the gauge?  How do you like it?
Finally what list of gauges would you recommend?  Here is what I want so far:
Oil pressure
Oil Temperature
Manifold pressure
Head Temperature
Voltage
Amperage
Water Temperature
Coolant system pressure (Still debating this one)
Air-to-fuel ratio

Thanks in advance for your help.
