either the 0 to 100 psi ( which looks just fine and normal in a vanagon to
me )
or the 0 to 80 .
which I just posted about , including a picture from egauges.com.

you defenitely don't want the 0 to 150 psi.

I put my OP guage in a single black pod..
at the base of the windshield, so it's close to my nomal line of site..
and just to the right of the instument cluster means that 3 wires only have
to sneak from the instrument cluster right side to the guage ..just a few
inches away.

that is far easier than making a panel, or buying one, with round holes
already in it ..
mounting it on top of or under the dash, etc.
