What year car? Shit, me and 66AC Cobra could do it for a small fee and you will be able to make SURE it is done the first time. Unless you don't want to save money...

Man, if you don't know how to do it you have to pay someone. Do you know how to degree a cam? Do you know how to do a leak down compression test? Do you know how to balance a crank? C'mon dude, not everyone is mechanically inclined.

Anyway, All I would charge is like 50 bucks and maybe some Subway or something [Big Grin]

damn fool, offerin my services without asking me [Big Grin] , j/k, man those gauges are easy to install, do it urself, all u need are wire strippers, wire crimpers, and some extra length of wire and the proper directions, just follow the directions and it is cake, no need to pay anyone, even my none mechanically inclined sister couild figure out how to install them
but then again she did tear down and rebuild her dirt bike so maybe she is more mechanically inclined that i think??

I only offer OUR services because I know you know what the hell you are doing. Man, I help that fool Jeff work on his car and I tell him what to do the whole time. Granted he does do most of the work, but I am like his damn service manual!!Anyway, gauges are not that hard as you said, just knew how you like to work on Mustangs as I do [Smile]
