Usually the autometers have fairly decent instructions, but I can definitely understand your hesitation to start meddling with things you're not sure about.

You could bring it up to S&R and have them do it if nobody else chimes in...

I did my own boost and oil pressure gauges. It's pretty simple. Volt gauge is very easy as well. I've never done a a/f gauge before.

I can help but I wont be able to do it until the weekend after this weekend coming up. We're going out of town for the long weekend. Let me know.

The A/F is useless unless it is a WB o2. I wouldn't even install it.

You should return it and the volt (unless a track car with no alt).

Get the oil pressure and maybe EGT.

Scoobies love to drink oil and bearing failure usually comes with oil starvation. Keeping a close eye on your oil pressure is one of the best gauges for it besides a WBo2.
