temp and oil gauges

For a SBC 350.
What gauge range should I get.
Oil : 0-80, 0-100, or 0-150

Temp : 100-250, or 120-300

I like 0-80 for the oil, because over 40 is more than you need anyway... 100- 250 should more than enough, hotter than that and you need a bigger or better fan and use a smaller water pump pulley... IMHO

I like a full sweep gauge, 270* or 180* compared to the 90*.

I agree with Ted. I like mine to read near mid range when all is normal - something unusual is easier to spot that way.

Thank you.

I'll ordering new gauges next week. Adding a gas gauge and changing the bat., oil, and temp. to match the others.
