Audio, Video, and Technology:
It has a fluid filled oil pressure guage with engine turned face, this is the ONLY guage, no tach, etc. Other than the 8 plug wires the wiring consists of 1 single wire from a kill switch to ground the mag to cut it off. No bells, no whistles, no weenie bars, just get in and go! Simplicity is good, less is more.
