What gauges do you recommend?

[Rocksalt]

My dash is an empty canvas. I’m running a 1978 small block Chevy 305, 200R4 transmission. I have a speedo that will be decorative, and a functional tach. What else would you recommend? I picked up a bunch of multi colored indicator lights from a swap meet, but apart from turn signals, and maybe a high beam, I don’t know what to use them for either.

The normal oil pressure, temp gauge and a volt gauge if you want one.

Consider adding a fuel level gauge and an oil temperature gauge for better engine monitoring. It's also w/ise to think about a batt ery voltage gauge to avoid electrical issues
