Triple gauge pod

OK, this is the photobucket location for the photo of the 4 gauge panel that I just uploaded:

I am still willing to upload it directly here, if someone wants to remind me how to do so.

PS: I just tried that, and it works, but it also has the photos of my Star that I posted up there some time ago, so you get to see it too.

Are they all electric gauges?

i'm going with this one...the dual pod.

decided to go with tranny temp & oil pressure.

Ah ha, that is how you do it. Thank you David. Of course, the trick now is to remember it for a couple of years for when the next time I get asked to post a photo comes along.

To your question, yes, the are all electric Autometer gauges. When I first put it in, I had two Autometer and two Borg Warner, but I ended up needing one of the Borg Warner's for something else, and it would have looked funny to have only one, with three of the other, so I just went to all Autometer. Very good gauges, by the way.

I would definitely add oil temp OR water temp in a 3 gauge pod. OR maybe oil pressure.
Its all a matter of preference.
Don't waste your $ on A/F unless it is a wideband 02, which is $300 minimum. The cheap $40 gauges are simply a light show, nothing more.
I plan on getting a W-02 gauge, but it will not be one that will go in a gauge pod.
I got the tranny temp. because our trannies aren't known to go much past 100K miles, if that.
I got the volts gauge because of the VAK.

I have to disagree about the O2 gauge. I had this gauge in my old SLO which had a lean condidtion problem, and it correctly showed when I was having a lean condition. Now, as far as how accurate the gauge can be...I have no way of testing it. I've never heard that general A/F gauges are worthless, and I would be interested if you have evidence to prove me wrong.

I would personally like to add oil pressure, voltage, and tranny temperature. I have been contemplating putting them in the ashtray area like the one previously posted. I don't smoke, so the ashtray is pretty much useless to me.

They are worthless, unless they are connected to a wideband O2 (as mentioned already).

Proof?

Narrow band O2s are NOT accurate. Basically. all they do is bouce back and forth from "hey, Im too lean!" to "hey, Im too rich!". There is no in between.

you need a wideband to get an accurate reading.

So I'm assuming that the stock upstream HO2Ss are not wideband? That's what I have my gauge wired to.
