Hey there guys

im interested in putting in some aftermarket guages for things such as battery voltage, a/f ratio, oil and fuel pressure. how do i go about getting the sensors for the readings and hooking it all up.

thanks

Most of the guages will come with all the necciary hardware to hook em up...
If not whoever sells em to ya should be smart enuff to help you with that or Look at autometers web site.

For the fuel and oil pressure.. you need to tap into the fuel/oil presure...
I dont think any of the aleros came with oil coolers... so that makes that a lil more difficult... you may need to tapp the block.. or accsess the stock sender location, and add in a tee for the new sensor...
For fuel the same thing would need to be done with the fuel lines... usually you can tapp into the test port on the fuel rail....

But any guages that you relocate to the interior.. i wouldnt recommend runing fuel/oilpressure into the car...
Get electrical guages...

if you buy good gauges, they should come with pretty specific instructions. Also, pfyc.com sells 2 and 3 gauge pods for our a-pillars.
