Autometer gauge help

I was looking into getting just a single gauge with pod for my civic. I was wondering which would be the best or most informative. I was thinking about voltmeter, or maybe oil or something. Also, are the electrical ones easy to install? I'm probably getting the phantom series to match my regular white indiglo cluster. Thanks.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

By most informative, do you mean moves the most? Cuz If thats the case, go for Air/Fuel or Oil pressure. Voltage is good if you've got a big stereo, a vacuum gauge is like the N/A version of a Boost gauge, although I have no idea how you would install it. The electrical gauges are pretty easy to install and the instructions that come with the gauges are quite helpful if you have a little electrical knowledge.

Does the A/F gauge, mean the A/F ratio gauges... Those that have the lean, stoich, and rich indicators?

Thinking of getting one in Singapore, preferably from Auto Meter.

Anywhere that I can order in US with lower shipping costs?

Does anyone know how I can mount the gauge to the dash without drilling? I got one phantom gauge and a cup (the smaller size).

I thought it would be an easy install since I got a voltmeter, but I've got a lot of wires to splice and connect.

Get creative. civicvtec1ps has one mounted in the air vent. You could use an existing screw somewhere and mount it to that, maybe just 2 sided tape it down, but you'll have to drill for the wires, mount it in the cup holder, etc.... you've just gotta think about it a little bit and you'll find a way to do it.
