Gauge Swap??
I am looking at going to some better looking backlit gauges.
Right now i have Boost 50 or 60 PSI, and EGT made and labeled by Banks, and my fuel pressure gauge is like an off brand with no brand name on it, looks very cheaply made etc.
I want to go with some autometer gauges because they look better and the quality is better. All my current guages are electrical hook-up, if i go to a different brand will it be a direct hookup of will have to do some re-wiring?

You will probably have to do some minor changes. Most gauges work on the same operating principle so the wiring is very similar. You will have to look at what is there and change accordingly.
If you use electric fuel pressure gauges you have to use senders that match the gauges. I recomend Stewart Warner electric fp gauges as they don't seem to have problems like the westach and others. I use em and I love em. Autometer Z series gauges are nice too. I have a boost and a pyro and I love em.
