Hello all-

I'm starting to populate our instrument panel & need some
suggestions on
on gauging.

We'll be flying a glass cockpit for the primary instrumentation --
it
will be no problem to configure the various displays for whatever
normal
operating range
is for any given sensor.  We'll also be flying Tracy's engine
monitor,
so that is covered.

However -- I am also going to be installing regular steam gauges for
the
basics in the right seat.  Here's my problem -- I don't know the
normal
operating
temps / pressures on the 13bT2 so as to pick the proper gauges:

    Oil Temp
    Oil Pressure
    Coolant Temp
    Coolant Pressure

Also -- anyone have a good source for these gauges, and/or do's and
don'ts?  I found an aviation outfit selling gauges + sensors for ~$40
each.

Thanks,

Mark & Mark

I personally like Summit Racing at www.summitracing.com.  Service is
really good with a good selection of HotRod parts.  I like Autometer
gauges and will be installing their fuel/air ratio meter in my Mustang
soon.
