Nice, if your not going to help, DSONT REPLY. I baught them used, plus directions dont help much seeing how they are universal and not car specific.

air fuel just run a wire through the firewall theres alot of holes to choose from and all u need is like a speaker wire to run from the gauge to the o2 sensor
sorry i can't remember the exact wire on the o2 but i just tried all 4 till it worked and when u do get it working if it flickers back and forth ur o2 sensors bad mine was and if it goes all the way to rich u need to lower ur fuel pressure with a regulator depending on ur set up and never go lean either or ur lossing horses
so do all that buy a fuel pressure regulator if u don't already have one.

water temp the stock one is electric on the block, just splice into coolent temp sending wires, its right beside speed sensor over the tranny use ur book if u cant find it

oil pressure ive never really done but i plane to soon so can't help on that

volt gauge i don't know anything about that either

the air/fuel and the water temp shouldnt be any problem just get the right wire on those harnesses ive done it b4 and after some pick and choosing everything worked fine

the only problem u could have is ur water temp gauge is mechanical and if so i cant help u there

do a search for the 02, but as far as the oil goes, is it mechanical or electronic? If its mechanical its going to be a pain, you will need to remove the oil pressure sending unit then get an adapter to fit to tee off the 2 units, then hope it doesnt leak or break off

On my 92 hatch the 02 sensor wire is the one sticking right out of the header....its like right in front of your face when you pop the hood. I wired one up to that and it was easy as hell....

Air/Fuel is not hard if you have the wire right in front of you....good luck....

As for the Volt gauge, just hook one up to the lights so it goes on with your lights, one to a ground and one straight to your battery for an EXACT reading. I heard thats best but i think it would drain your battery, so wire it to something other than your lights, liek your ignition so its on without your lights.

and for oil pressure....you got me, i have no idea...search is your friend
