i dont think you need gauges for a nonturbo car.

Oil pressure and Oil temp are the most important gauges to have on ANY car....the standard "Oil light" is a waste of time as by the time its come on its too late, the damage will have been done.
Although the more gauges you have, the more you worry about what they are monitoring and there is more to distract you from the road ahead which is far more important than any gauge.
Unfortunately the Oil temp/pressure gauges are the most difficult to install as you`ll need to fir a take off plate or find somehwere in the engine to mount the sensors.
Water temp is also a good one to have....voltage and vacuume forget about..not worth monitoring on a non turbo car.

oil pressure isnt hard at all. the sensor they give u can be plugged into an existing hole on the right frontside of the block where a oil sensor is plugged in. take that out and screw in the new one. thats what i did, the only thing is that the red oil light on the left hand side of your gauge cluster will be on all the time

You were intended to use a Tee so that both of the senders would be installed at the same place.

basically i want 2 gauges i was thinking a volt and something else whats the easiest to install?

this is true. i did not have one at the time. my original plan was to use the oil sandwich plate technique
