Question Gauges

I am close to getting my 73 2.0 back on the road after a complete resto. I now have a centre consol but no gauges. I would like a few opinions as to which gauges have been most useful/best to have.

The most likely options I can think of are:
Oil Pressure
Oil temp
Head temp(s)
Fuel Mix (from ea carb?)

I have carbs, cam, raised CR and Bursch.

I will post some pics soon.

Thanks

I asked the same question recently, and the list you've got is what most people suggested. If you're gonna go for a full gauge cluster, you may want a voltmeter as well. Check out this setup from a 914/3.2 car in San Diego:

If you have a temp gauge in the combo gauge in the dash, then I'd recommend a volt meter, duakl reading mixture and a BIG red light that is piggy backed onto the little light in the combo gauge. I don't think I would ever see the factory oil pressure warning light during a race or auto-x? There is a round truck clearance light exactly the same size at most auto parts stores. Good luck.
