Ultralite Gauge pics inside
Here is my completed dash with all my Autometer gauges. Thanks to Slush92RS for showing me it could be done. Let me know what you think, good or bad. No I am not changing the steering wheel as the car is going up for sale.

The only other pics I have are of the engine bay. One good one is below. I am selling due to a baby on the way, and this now puts us over the space I have in the Grand Prix, and the Intrepid. I have to sell the Camaro, to make up all the negative equity in the Intrepid and get one of those rectangular, box looking vehicles. Some people call them mini vans. Oh no, I said it!!

Both the tach and speedo are the 5" models. The pod used for the 3 gauges under the vent, I made ar work. I used 2 1/4 tubing that was scrap water tubing, and cut it down. I then welded a 1" strip of flat stock across them as they were angled. I also took 3pcs. of 2 1/4" square sheet stock, and welded them to the back. The corners were ground smooth. The cups ended up being to short. I didn't allow for the light to stick out. So I used a die grinder and cut out a rectangle from top to bottom so the light would fit. After all this was done, I painted them black. The wiring wasn't to bad. A member on here e-mailed me a diagram of the wire-outs in the 2 blocks. That was probably the biggest help I had. I could not have done the wiring w/o it. I only added 1 wire and that was for the oil pressure sending unit. There is a maze of wires behind the dash now. I just made sure all connections were solid, and covered each one with heat shrink tubing. I wrapped all the wiring from the gauges on the right with elec. tape to keep them neat and organized. You can see it in the pic below. If you take your time, it will look good.
