I like the gauges when they are mounted outside in a lot of cases. Here's my 66 from the late 80's.

Being mechanical gauges, I'd rather have my oil pressure and fuel pressure mounted outside.

In case of an equipment failure, whether it be the gauge itself or a blown line, I don't want 6 pounds of fuel pressure covering me with gas in the driver's seat,...or 60 pounds of oil pressure covering me with hot oil either.

Both of mine were outside too. Tach on the dash, small little ZGate shifter sitting on a 16/304 stainless steel box I made at work. Put the shifter high up, I do miss that car.
