I am not after a Boeing cockpit look, just want to add gauges that useful to a Extend Port 13B that is used for "spirited" road use.
Hey mate, I am not sure if I am getting old or just retarded but in my car i cant look at anything except the rev gauge and even then its only in 3rd gear, but I mostly shift by feel and the rev buzzer. But it does have 500bhp and shit happens super fast.

I say rev counter #1
Water temp #2
Warning lights for oil pressure #3 (blinks when under set minimum) off when at proper pressure works great!
AFR instrument #4 is a cool beneficial thing to have when tweaking your jetting in the carby and they are inexpensive now.

BIG REV COUNTER ! in the middle rotary style, all else is not really that important lol.
