Steve; Check out the web sites for Auto Meter
http://www.autometer.com
and Stewart Warner (actually one of their distributors has a good catalog
listing)
http://www.xks.com/SW%20Pages/swgauge.htm
As an example, I'm old fashioned enough to prefer an analog clock with a
sweep second. It's mounted in an Autometer windshield post pod, which is
made for Dakotas. The installation is easy. The plastic windshield post trim
pops off and it easy to fish wires down below the dash. The pods come with
an adhesive strip but I attached it with small sheet metal screws with the
heads painted dark gray. They hold just about any 2 1/16 gauge. I preferred
the look of the Stewart Warner clock so that's what's in there. The dual pod
with the temps and pressures you want would look good there. Either
manufacturer can provide matching senders. They can be wired to your dash
lighting also.
