I have a amp meter sitting around the house that i want to install, but i dunno if a single gauge pod on the a-pillar would look to good. can you please post pics or upi single or double gauge pod mounts? thank you.

Hmmm not going with drilling out the cig lighter anymore.

mine are here

well i got a free ampo gauge so i did not want to spend money and do much eles....but i got to thinking i will just sopend the money buy another gauge, and my problems solved.

I have an amp meter, what woul dbe the next most important gauge to buy. I am N/A and i do not have nitrious or anything like that. Vacum gauge? oil pressure? which one woul dbe most beneficial for me to know.

 

alod since all of chestons crap it down how hard it is to install each one? i would like a vacuum gauge cause it hink they look cool. Which one would be the easiest to install? would would be the hardest. I already have a amp meter so that is out of the question. thanks for your input guys.

 

No gauge is that hard to install. Vacuum/boost are very easy because you're not tapping any sensors, just a vacuum line. The one that annoys me is the EGT only because you have to drill/tap your Y-Pipe. And I hate fuel pressure gauges because you have to get gasoline all over you.

 

can anyone tell me how to instal a vacume gauge. I am probely going ot get that one. Thank you for your help.

 

Just my $0.02 but normally you wouldn't need a vacuum gauge. Vacuum and boost are important if you are running boost, but not for NA. If you want a gauge that will actully give you information about your engine I would go with an air/fuel or an oil pressure gauge. On the other hand, even if you get the air/fuel, unless you have a way to adjust your air fuel mixture the gauge can only show you where you're at and even if it's wrong you can't change it. The oil pressure gauge can be a pain in the @$$ because if you don't want an oil leek inside the car I recommend changing from the nylon POS they supply, to a copper line, which can get difficult to coax into position. If you just want looks and don't car about what is being reported, get the vacuum cause it will be the easiest. I believe I have seen how-to's on most of the gauge installs in the DIY section.

 

i bought a vacuum....and i bought a dual gauge pod. so i guess that si what i have now. I really do not care about teh second gauge. i just wanted a amp meter but since th evacum was the easiest and least risky of them to went a head and bought that one. thanks guys....now i will have to see a write up, and make a post when i receive the items how to hook them up.

 

if your NA the 3 gagues you should be concerned with is OIl pressure/Water temp/volt

 

you'll only risk spraying oil into your interior if you you get a mechanical oil pressure gauge. go with electric one and you'll have no problem with oil leaking in,... plus they're more accurate.
