Does anybody have a write up on how to wire the lighting for my Autometer gauges? I know NOTHING about electronics in cars also, what kind of wires to use for extensions? will that red/black stereo stuff do the trick?

the yellow wire goes to a switched 12 volt source, in the fuse box. the outer shell, that little thing sticking out, needs to be grounded, and it needs to be hooked up to a vaccume source. and yes, speaker wire works fine.

could someone tell me what the speaker wire has to do with installing a boost gauge?

the physical speaker wire, the woven copper surrounded by plastic, can be used to wire the boost gauge. or normal wire bough much cheaper from home depot works too.
