You can still wire the gauge lights into that 3 amp dash/dimmer circuit and then wire the gauge power to another circuit. This way you have the gauge power on a bigger circuit and the gauge lights will still dim with your dash lights. I think I might have used the radio circuit for the power on mine (switched circuit so it goes on and off with the ignition).

Right, that's what I was trying to say.

Please enlighten me on this.

I thought we were talking pyrometers.

My pyrometer has no need of a "power" wire.

I didn't know that any of them did.

Also, when drilling/tapping the manifold, coat the drill/tap with gun-grease and most of the fragments will remain stuck in the grease; then, poke one of those pencil-sized magnets in there and fish out the rest.

Thanks.

AutoMeter pyros do. The amplifier is built into the gauge.
