The "other" gauges.

[SASHO91]

I plan on getting a PLX WB, but that unit is a box. Also, im going to use the dash H20 temp as a general Oil temp gauge.

But I have an A-pillar pod that will hold 2 more. I was thinking possibly Vac., or maybe an EGT(even though i'll have the WB).

But i figured i'd ask yall what would be some other gauges to run, that would still perform a simple, yet, not really needed task. I guess im one of those guys who likes to keep an eye on the muffler bearing RPM's, if ya know what i mean.....

:laugh_ti:

BTW, a fuel pressure gauge is going on the rail.
And just incase you dont read sig's, i allready have the basic gauges... :wave:

nitrous pressure with a system to match.

a vacuum gauge is handy to find out if you have a vacuum leak. That's actually how I discovered I had one last year. I was pulling 5in/hg less than normal. Honestly, tha gauge choice depends on what you do with the car.

Im set on the Vac gauge... i know how handy they can be.... so thats one spot.

I do 'plan' on spraying the motor, but i think a bottle mounted pressure gauge would be a better choice, atleast IMO.

As for the other, its probably going to be a Trans Temp. allthough im still up in the air with this one.... I know its good for a Quaife equip'd tranny, but even then...

Then use the dash H20 gauge as an Oil temp.
Then the rail mounted FP gauge.

**** maybe i will just run the Vac. on a single pod. And be done with that.
If i want to add something else i can always add on top of it... Or even put it on next to the Antenna switch. That would the pillar open.

Just got figure out were to mount the PLX at.

EDIT: even better idea(atleast cooler)
Run the FP gauge outside onto the wiper cowling.... I do have the SS lines to do it...

I always thought the 89 console was the coolest spot to mount trhe extra guages. Or just modify a blank radio panel. Its all up to you. You could have 10-15 guages if you wanna go crazy with it.

Save the FP guage for the schrader valve it looks badass. Soon as I get pics Ill show you mine.

Yeah, i have had one there before(not the one i posted) and i liked it.

My EATC spot allready has the basic gauges there....

What i might do is put the Vacuum on the Pillar and the AEM WB next to the ant. switch...

I am planning on a tranny temp gauge just to make sure i don't burn it up.
