Title: aftermarket guage install
Post by: gumby on January 11, 2007, 09:13:49 PM
got a chance to work on my guage panels today. came out nice, i think. :pbb:
radio delete, moved the cubby down below the heater controls, and ditched the system sentry.

heres a py cell phone pic from before i cut the holes

and with the guages i have so far "installed"

the holes need a lil sandin so the guages will slide all the way in, but you get the idea.
top two(2 5/8) will be fuel pressure, and water temp
next three(2 1/16) are oil pressure, boost/vac, and a/f ratio
lower panel will be a diff temp guage, and a switch for the diff cooler pump/fan after i get them. plus whatever other guages/switched i decide to install later on.

i woulda kept the A/C but the previous owner already gutted it. i dont care enough about it to go thru all the work to reinstall it.

i still have heat. with the center vents blocked more air will travel to the other vents.

i was thinking of similar, but a plate bent to the shape of the face of the speedometer with guages in it. if anyone has done this or similar, post pics.
