I got the gauges in and I have the battery gauge and water temp hooked up and working. I'll get the oil pressure working in the next few days.

i bought one of these also and its waiting back home for me to install it. How long did this take you approx? is there anyway you can do a short writeup or do they have detailed instructions?

Cool. It seems the temp. gauge is a little off(Reads in the 200-210 range), But once I get use to it I'll know what's going on I guess.

I may have found the cause for the gauge being off, But I'm not sure yet. It turns out the main ground was off at my starter. But I also tried switch the sending unit with a spare one I have and in the process of tightening it the ratchet slipped sideways and broke off the sensor flush with the water manifold. Today I went to extract it and ended up cracking a huge chunk out of the manifold where the gauge sensor mounts. I used some 2 part epoxy on it and I'll find out in the morning whether it worked or not. If it worked then I'm all good, If not then it should be at least reduced to a slow leak and I'll get it to my shop and just swap the motors with the nice 94 model year one I have waiting for it. Has anybody gotten temperature readings from this location on the engine(back DR. side of engine)? What temp. should I be ranging in there? My gauge has been reading between 198-209 degrees steady cruising on the highway to 220+ when idling and that is way too high for me.

Interesting...
Those are slightly different than what's listed on Summit's web page:
volts from 0 to 16,
oil pressure from 0 to 80 psi,
and water temperature from 0 to 300 degrees F
I wonder if it's the sensors that determine the range, and the display is actually capable of wider values.

Here's the installation manual (one-page PDF). Not much to it. Looks like the specs you posted were from that.

I think they changed something in production and never changed it in the catalog. I've seen the gauges maxed out and at minimum and the specs I listed are correct. The temp. gauge never drops below 77 degrees whether hooked up or not.
