The gauges do come with instructions, however the helms helps, the chances of the oil line breaking in the cabin are slim to none IMO, the air/fuel is constantly "fluctuating" except when I'm at full throttle (Rich), no throttle (lean), or have been cruising on the freeway at the same speed for a while, then it'll stick to 2 or so LEDs in the stoich range.
I could do a write up, but I didn't take pictures of the installation, so I'm not sure how much help it'd do. If you guys have any questions on installation, I'd be more than happy to help you out.

I'm looking to get 4 guages for my car they are:
A/F Guage, VOLT guage, OIL PRESSURE guage, OIL TEMP guage or may be EGT.
Can someone tell me if the oil temp and pressure are easy to hook up and what if anything that needs to be tapped. Also...which one would be more needed EGT or oil temp.

Oil temp and press are Easy.
I have the apexi gauges.. I simply replaced my stock Oil pressure sender w/ the apexi light (kills the low oil light in the dash) and the Oil temp sender replaces your Oil pan drain plug.
Both are mechanical so no oil line in the car for me.
EGT is more for tuning and would be beneficial for F/I, but not really important for lightly modded NA.

is that really a mechanical oil pressure gauge? isn't there an autometer oil pressure gauge with a small cylindrical sender that you connect to a pressure source on the block, and then just wires run to the cockpit, same as their FP gauges?

At least the oil pressure serves some function.
