[Zax40]

Coolant temp gauge for sure. Now that I have one I would not go back to having an A without one

 

[Mulletwagon]

Engine temp amd oil pressure.

 

[2speed]

Temp and oil pressure. I also have a voltmeter that was helpful in a diagnosis.


I have a Burtz, on a stock Model A, oil pressure I'm not sure I would need, but temperature is a must.

 

[Chuck Dempsey]

Just a clock...and an outside temp gauge. Not on your list, but would be nice to have.

 

[J Franklin]

I have none and will keep it that way.

 

[ModelA29]

Just one - water temp. Our Coupe came with a Brassworks pressure radiator a thermostat housing and old style Stewart Warner wing gauge.
Our Tudor has no gauges but as long as the muddy looking water isn't puking out of the radiator I figure it's OK.

In order of checking frequency:

1. Speedometer. (GPS, my speedo not accurate)
2. Voltmeter
3. Ammeter
4. Gas gauge
5. Temperature (at coolant outlet aka goose neck)
6. My wrist watch
7. Oil pressure
8. Tachometer

 

[Kurt in NJ]

Header rim wind clock and motormeter
The model T the only modification is stop lights

 

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

No GPS??

 

[Y-Blockhead]

No GPS??

Haha, I do have Ms. Garmin suction cupped to my windshield At least it has a Model A for the cursor). Doubles as my Speedo and Odo since my "Rebuilt" Speedometer does not read correctly. And it helps me find my way home...

I also have a Water Temp and a Moto-Minder. Plus a clock in the rear mirror.

 

[Synchro909]

Coolant temperature and because my cars have oil pressure, a gauge for that too.

 

[mcgarrett]

My shifter knob clock and Rex-A-Co temp gauge!

 

[Ayers1]

I have oil pressure and temp gauge in my A's. I figure that's all I need to keep an eye on things.

 

[Brad in Germany]

I can't decide so they stay in the display case:

.....etc.....

[Herb Concord Ca]

I have temp gauge in both my A's and a recently added Tach in my touring car.

 

[German guy]

Clock? No. I wear a watch.

Coolant Temperature Gauge? YES!
Electronic Tachometer No. My hearing is still good.
Manifold Vacuum Gauge. About as necessary as an altimeter
Motometer No
Oil Pressure Gauge No
Motometer
Thermoquail a nice decoration but not a gauge
Voltmeter Gauge I do not need to know while driving

 

[Chris in WNC]

coolant temperature gauge when I was driving long tours in the summer.

none needed for my beater truck just driving locally......

Side note : modern cars are getting away from touch screens and going back to knobs and buttons ! About time IMO

In my carry tool box I have IR temperature gun, VOM, a test light, a screw driver for removing the oil plug on the side of the engine to check for oil flow, a calibrated wooden stick for double checking the gas level.
