touring and formula ford cars have rev counters, reason being they cant select a lower gear if engine is under 3000rpm

I've added oil temp and water temp (to keep an eye on engine warming up and poss overheating probs), oil pressure (very useful indicator of any oil flow probs in the engine) and fuel pressure. I'm also adding volts so I can keep an eye on battery charge - that will do me
