Was it the March of the Orange Mustang Club? How did you manage to get that many of the same color out in the same location?

I can't take credit for organizing the event. It was the 3rd annual COMR meet. ( Competition Orange Mustang Registry) I was one able to attend 1 day. Fri and Sat they had more cars. They are already planning next years.

easiest way to add oil pressure and oil temp gauges is a sandwich adapter for the oil filter.
I have the glowshift unit and it has 4 threaded ports, plus plug screws for unused ports .. so I dunno what Id do with all 4. electric guages in dash, and mech ones under hood?? /joke
....curious what other uses though. need to order the one for your oil filter thread size which for mine was 22x1.5
I used this guy here (M12 x 1.5 ends & 1/8 NPT side port). I threaded the stock sensor into the back and the sensor that came with the gauge in the side.

Great for the one gauge. I have temp and pressure and it’s interesting to see how pressure goes down as temp rises and oil thins. Colder weather be good to know when oil is flowing well.
all the gauges I added it great to have a baseline what’s normal and hopefully get early warning of something failing. And of course I like the look, but might just be me

Bought a stablemate to keep my S550 company during the long winter layup.
It’s a 2002 with 105,000 KMS (61,000 miles), mint, original paint, etc.
Can’t give a rational reason for buying it, but at my age I don’t have to!

New Edges may be slow by today's standards but they're still so much fun. And they will run, and run, and run. Forever. That one is super clean, good find.

Thanks, yup down about 170HP from my S550 but I hear the 2v is pretty dependable.

Do you have a picture of your setup? Is your oil pressure gauge a digital or needle? Does it fluctuate at idle? Once warmed up, mine seems to jump around between 17-20psi while at a stop light.

gauges have both needle and digital. Temp goes up slow. Oil pressure changes quick, but is steady at steady RPM. Idle warm about 30-40 from memory, but steady. On cruise control, about 50 warm, as high as 85 cold.... got 5w30 in it now, next change soon to 5/20 for winter.
Ill get a pic after my am coffee :)

What's that side label say and our Bullitts have the same mounting as the GTs for fender emblems?

Yeah, mine is steady at cruising speeds as well. However at idle once warm, the needle bounces around from 17-20psi. I'm trying to figure out if that is normal, or is it because I bought a cheap knock off gauge. If its because of the gauge I'm going to order a good one as it pesters me. I've also thought about trying a better sensor as you can typically pick them up for $20. This is what I get for being cheap...lol. Always cost me more in the long run.

Cold starts are great for me, just not my neighbors.
Your neighbors suck then. My neighbors are great. They always comment on how good it sounds. 😛

My neighbor is our lama and our camel at the back of our pasture/property and along the way the horses don't really care, although I do frequently toggle it to "quiet" as I don't wanna spook em...
