Wiring up 6 Autometer guages

I might be getting more **** in my old age when it comes to wiring things in my car. Instead of 5 different locations for ground, iginition, power, light bulb power & light bulb ground is there a better way? Terminal block for these connections so I only have to come off one source wire for each respective output? Should I add a fuse in my fuse block and feed the guages from there? Ideas / feedback welcome.

Re: Wiring up 6 Autometer guages

By far the neatest way i have ever seen to ground multiple, single location, gauges was on my freinds 69 cutlass, triple gauge. The took two small measured peices of wire, with connectors on each end, the ones with the little hole in the middle of the spade. Starting from the right, he connected one ground, to the next gauge's ground, andthat gauges ground to the next gauges. The final gauge's ground went from the gauge to a bare peice of dash metal. Worked perfect.
