That's almost the exact same guage setup that I have. I have both the Air/Fuel and the Vacuum in the same manner, except mine are both Pro-Comp's. Nice choice!

I think you should put that banner back on, now I can't tell if it's a Pontiac, Ford, or Chevy.

The banner did not bother me at all. What would be cool is if you could cut white strips where the meet the nostrils of your ram air hood. The stripes look a little wierd on the contours of your car.

if you know how the read them, then they can tell you a lot about the car. They were the computers mechanics used to use to dianose a car. It can tell you how much fuel your using, weather or not you have a bad valve anything basically. Theres a book as big as a phone book about them.

Now you are gonna get the "Is that a camaro?"

It looks 10,000,000,000 times better without the banner.........I'm not a fan of them

So when are you getting some rims for the car?? I think it would make it look even better.....

Nice lookin' car! I do like the after better.

I have a question about the gauges though. I don't mean for this to sound derogatory, but of what use are those two particular gauges while driving? I certainly can see the need for them when building and testing an engine, or when cam swapping, and/or carb/F.I. tuning, but how are they useful in everyday driving? Do you have a setup that can be adjusted from the driver's seat?

Again, I really am curious. I don't mean these questions to incite a flame war, so please don't take it that way.

Oddly enough I like the before MUCH better. The banner allowed the stripes on the roof to show up better.

lol..
Here's my oil temp and vac. I have one of those A/F ratio ones too if anyone is interested in buying it.
It is exactly like the one pictured above (phantom series). Haven't installed it since I bought it 2 years ago!
Make me an offer...
