Did someone say AUTOMETER????
You dont have to be good at wirin' if you use mechanical gauges. I trust them a lot more.

I have to agree with you on the feeling of trust with mechanicals over electronics with sending units BUT make sure you use an isolater for your fuel pressure and oil pressure. If that line ever breaks inide the cab, you're in a world of hurt!

Agreed.....I have an isolator on the fuel, not on the oil.....but it has a braided line.

Here's mine.


You got me! It's an old picture. Actually, I've replaced the switches on the driver side with a 6.5" Infinity speaker, and also put one where the old glove box used to be.

I've got two rollbar pods to mount the EGT and Boost guages into. ;D

Guages are cool... huh, huh, huh

Another one for you, I took my stocker and cut and welded filler panels into all of the holes. The worst one was the huge hole that someone took a hammer and chisel to make the radio mount hole. :'( I moved the ashtray and the glovebox over and I used some exhaust tube to make some cutouts for the roll cage to keep it tight to the windshield and front door post.

One of my biggest regrets is selling my dash with my 72. If I would have known I was going to get another rig so fast I would have kept it. Its not to tuff to make one just time consuming.

Here is a pic
