Mechanical or electrical gauges?
I'm 55 and am the first to admit that my eyes aren't what they used to be. I went with the Auto Gage volt/oil/temp mechanical gauges with nice BIG faces so that I can tell at a glance where I'm at. I have a fresh engine so I'm constantly checking temp and oil pressure, and I'm perfectly fine with taking my eyes off of the road for a fraction of a second.
I bought the copper line because I had a nylon line fail me with my last set of cheapo gauges. I was driving down the road and could feel my pant leg getting warm and thought it was the heater kicking in. Luckily I was close to home and limped it about a mile pumping oil all over the place. What a mess to clean up the next day. I'm glad I have black carpet!
