Default Gauge Wiring

Not sure if this is the right forum...

Can I run 1 power wire up the a-pillar for all my gauges or will it be over loaded? If I can should I run an inline fuse, what type/size? Also, were is everyone else getting their 12v key on power source?

I have electronic fuel press, mechanical boost press, AEM wide band. And the lights for each.

If your just useing the 1 wire to power the gauges and the gauge lights it will be fine, but you'll need 1 more for a ground. I got my keyed power from the fuse box at the side of the dash when you open the door. you can buy a adapter that plugs into the fuse holder that replaces the fuse and has a spade stickin out so you can plug your wire onto it, and you can still plug the fuse into it.
