How did you guys run your wires into engine compartment and to ignition? What gauges did you pick? I bought auto meter water temp, oil pressure, and exhaust gas temp. Thanks, Mike Rohn GO WINGS! 99 SVT Silver w/ Blue Stripe with some mods. mike4420@comcast.net "To each his own"

The interior didn't seem to change the drastically between 95 & 98. 98 CSVT w/ a little kick added... #2625 of 6535 Defending freedom and liberty the best way I know how....by killing those who threaten it!
