That is mostly my intent. I would like to see what other companies/people are doing as a template for what I want to do.

My "research" so far shows the fuel sender and temprature sender are both resistance based, which is not hard to figure out. I've seen diagrams showing the resistance ratios.

The spedometer and tachometer are both pulse based (which makes quite a great deal of sense to me). A counter with some sort of floating point compensator.I'll likely end up doing that with a BasicStamp. If I do use a BS, it will make putting in keyless entry (and starting) easier.

Either way, I'd really like to see if there are existing systems, and see what magic they did so I don't have to reinvent so many wheels.
