You are indeed the typical guy.. lol You will enjoy your new sound system, but pay attention to how the install goes. I would run new speaker wires. I just bypassed my factory fader, and the sound isn't what it could be, since there is only a front/rear two speaker setup from the factory, not a fl/fr/rl/rr setup like there should be.

I wouldn't bet on the procedure being in a service book. I think it's something just learned from doing. Anyway, you can check here too.

For the fuel gauge, remove the sender in the tank and clean it out. Should help, I got a ton of black crud from inside. For the dash lights, clean the bulbs, and people are reporting good results from painting the reflectors white or even covering them with aluminum foil.
