Gauges, Gauges, Gauges Everywhere

[Mr Rogers]

Hey Allan, it doesn't look likeyour Auto meter fit like shit like mine does. I don't know if it is the nitrous line making fit so bad or just the fact that it is flimsy assed plastic. It looks great at night when you can't see the gaps on both sides but in the day it is almost an eye sore. As for the fuel gauge, mine used to swing around to 100psi too but my buddy who rewired everything nice and neatly (and apparently the correct way) and the pressure is alway read out. I think it must be wired into a live wire now, but I like it better this way.

TurboGSR: Holy !@%^$#, you win the gauge battle. I like the guages in place of the Cruise button and dimmer knob. That's pretty trick!

Marc: My fuel pressure gauge has never been powered up (Remember, there is no motor in my car right now. See all those damn B18C1 going to ENDYN posts). I guess that is why it is below 0.

Holden: Gotta love that movie! I was wacthing Speed Zone just yesterday.

MrRogers: Although it does not look like it in the photo, the fit of my bezel was less than desirable, but it works. How's that NOS gauge anyway? I should have bought it. I had the intake temp gauge on order, but they kept pushing the arrival back so I cancelled it.

That would have brought me to 8 gauges, plus the Hyper R and the Safeguard display. I would have to moun the rest like TurboGSR did his. Are we import rednecks?

11PSIGSR,

One more question. I noticed you have two air/fuel guages in your car. Have you noticed any inconsistencies between the Autometer and the J&S AF meter? Or did you just install these guages and haven't had a chance to run it with the motor?

Thanks for the info.

Marc,

Technically I have 3 A/F ratio meters. (Autometer, J&S, and Hyper R has one too)

I can't answer about the inconsistences between the J&S and the others. (I brought it back from ENDYN in September when I dropped the motor off, so it has not been powered up as of yet)

But the Hyper R and the AutoMeter were installed prior to my little destruction race, they seem to be exactly the same all the time. (Of course they are all tied into the signal wire at the computer)

11psi- I like the N2O gauge and the location but I haven't hooked it up yet, kind like the rest of your gauges. I will put the nitrous setup on once I get my winter car back from home. If you are wanting to hook another guage up (N2O) let me know, I can get 3200 psi line for like $1.50 a foot plus hose end assenbly. I got 6ft for $21 total, even thought it is too short (it won't reach to were I need it in the back seat) it was still only 20 bucks, so I think I will be getting more soon. Cya

Are you guys just as upset as I am by the poor quality of the Autometer gauge cluster? For $61 dollars, i'd expect alot more from this piece of shit. The top part sags a bit, I can't torque both screws all the way without it pushing out and creating gaps between the dash and the cluster. And finally, the engineers could have at least copied the hooks on the bottom just like the OEM part.

hey TurboGSR, how difficult was it to get those gauges into the spot previously occupied by the cruise control? Im thinking of doing that for a more stealthy look.

11++++++++psi , what is the gauge in the middle of the Autometer pillar?

I finally got around to putting my Autometer bezel in. Here's a couple of shots:





I'm finishing up a cool modification to my factory gauge cluster this weekend. Don't want to let out the secret, but I'll post pictures sometime next week.
