I've never seen that combo guage on the right before. What a good idea! I'd personally put the combo on the left, the tach in the middle, and the speedometer on the right... but that's just me. I tend to pay more attention to what RPMs I'm running than what speed I'm going....

Yea I am not sure how they are going to be setup yet, I just dropped them in the bezel to see what they looked like. They are now back in the box, waiting for the time they get installed. ;)

I bet the would look uber-slick with the brushed-aluminum overlay dash...

Yup I am thinking of doing away with the heater controls and spacing the gauges out more and using a brushed aluminum face on it.

Thats a good idea. That way I can have the 3 big gauges and also vacuum and trans temp gauges. Thing is I cant find any so far where all of the gauges would match.
I wonder if the heater controls will fit where the ashtray is.The heater controls look too tall to fit, and its been a while since I looked at the assy to see if I can move the fan control lower to fit. Im sure I could think of something.

Crazy, Those look great!!! How much were the gauges? Also do you think that it will be an easy hook-up?

Very easy to hook up, they include all the sending units and fuel sending unit. The Speedo is electric and programable, gear ratio or tire size makes no differance. Speedo has programable oil change intervals in it sounds alarm, as well as over speed alarm pre set by you. LOL. Yup easy to hook up..........Why I got em!! LOL Cost not to bad I really considering its a complete set of instuments and compared to Auto Meter or other good gauges the cost was comparable but more features and in a nice package of 3. With the Speedo sending unit they were $381.00 to the door.
I got mine from here Daytona Instuments (http://www.tpigauges.com/)

I like the 4 in one guage makes for a clean install

So about the programable speedo, how does that work as far mph is concerned? Is the oil sender manual or electric. Do they actually send a fuel sending unit that goes in hhe tank?

I am wanting to do this in the spring. I don't know if I can trust an electric oil guage or not. I am running an aftermarket fuel sender now but the hand doesn't move while driving, only after you stop somewhere and then when you fire back up it shows less gas.

Short and long of programing the speedo is, push program button, drive one measured mile, push button. Done! All gauges are electric. Matching fuel sending unit is included as are all the sending units. As far as trusting the gauges, I will place a manual pressure gauge in line as well to compare.
