3 Most Vital Gauges?
I installed an AutoMeter triple gauge pillar in my car and currently have 2 out of 3 of the holders occupied. The top is a trans temp gauge, the second is a coolant temp gauge, and I'm still contemplating on the third.
What do you guys think the third one should read? I'm thinking either oil pressure or oil temp.
I know that there are more mounting solutions for more gauge later down the road but I'm concerned about the 3 most important gauges being inches from my head. What do you guys think the third gauge should be?

Re: 3 Most Vital Gauges?
I can . I worked at a shop and on the way to work one morning my oilpressure went to zero and I was close to work so I pulled in , clocked in then checked my pressure with a tester and my car with over 100k on it was still in spec on pressure so I replaced the sender and my pressure was within 5psi of the tester . I would say that is very close wouldn't you ?

Where did you get your rims, and who made them? I have those same ones, and have no idea what company produced them?
And ide say oil pressure for sure, cant be too cautious.
