<VV> Ideas Re: Thank You

Bill,
     Instead of an oil temp gauge, I'd recommend adding a CHT (cylinder head temp.) gauge.  That will show an overheat condition (lost fan belt perhaps), or an UNDERHEAT condition (failed thermostat(s) for example) much more quickly than an oil temp gauge.  And instead of an ammeter, I'd install a voltmeter which will tell you if the charging system is operating properly.  This is especially needed if you don't have a modern solid-state voltage regulator on your alternator.
     Adding gauges is a GREAT idea!

and add a set of gauges, oil temp, oil pressure, and amps (under the dash, I'm not cutting up the dash unless I add A/C, which may happen some time down the road).  I was never one to trust idiot lights to tell me what's happening under the engine cover since by the time the light comes on, it's often too late!
