I think I have decided on the Autometer Ultralites w/silver bezel(it matches the silver on dash & doors) mostly due to price. I can get boost, tranny, EGT, & dash pod for about $275 delivered. Is the install pretty straight forward, I'm not that great w/electrical? Where did ya'll tap in for power? And if have had these & had problems w/them, please let me know. I won't need any fuel type gauges so I think these will fit the bill. TIA

There are some options as to how you can install them. With the boost, you can either use a boost bolt to replace one of the intake horn bolts or you can drill and tap into the intake horn and access pressurized air there. The boost bolt can be seen here:

For the transmission temp, you can either use a line clamp or tap into the hot line. The line clamp can be seen here:

As for the EGT gauge, you really only have one viable option, and that is drilling and tapping into the exhaust manifold. If you have an EGR cooler delete, some have drilled and tapped the rear delete plate and installed their pyro there. I've got my pyro installed here:

As for wiring them up, here is a good walk through that shows you which wires to use:
