I need to buy some cheap gauges - electrical water temp. and oil pressure. Doesn't matter the size/color/make/etc..., just need them when I drop in my engine.
Any suggestions on where to get them - I was hoping Crappy Tire or Wal-Mart would have some, but they want like $40 for some POSs. I'm looking at spending $10-20 hopefully.

prosport. decent for the money. cheap to the feel, but lots of ppl run them with decent results. why exactly do you want a 10$ gauge? Even if it's just for setting a base, what good is it, if it's off 5-10psi or more.

Want to make certain everything (e.g., oil pressure) is okay after I hook it up. A lot of people prefer to use mechanical gauges as run-in gauges, but I want to stick w/ electrical since that's what I'll be wiring later on.
