I was thinking since EA Ghia's don't have the amp or oil gauges on the dash I want to buy aftermarket ones and hook them up
Definites are Oil pressure and Amperes (and maybe Oil Temperature? What do you think) How do you go about hooking these up? Is it hard  : Any advice appreciated  :

Oil pressure, water temp are two to have.
I wouldn't worry about Amp or oil temp. The gauge comes with easy to install instructions.

Plenty of aftermarket gauges out there mate and all with easy instructions.
OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMP are the main ones i would be putting in the others are a bit of a waste of money! |

Hooking up water temp sounds complicated. You certain it's easy. Does it use existing parts under the bonnet or do I need to install new senders.

Sorry forgot to ask why I need water temp when stock dash already has a temperature gauge? Are these different?

The dash gauge isn't always accurate.

They are easy. Buy them and give it a go, they will come with what you need.
