I just got my full pillar 3 gauge pod A pillar from Autometer Friday and the damn thing won't fit. I shove it down to where the lowest pod is tight up against the dashpad and the top side is still a full inch or more away from fitting. Has anybody else had this problem?

 

You can ask GTA324, in the other triple guage post. He has it done. good luck

 

Mine fit perfectly,

 

I discovered they accidently ordered me the gauge pod for the T-Tops.

 

Do they make those 3-pods for camaros????????

 

Zepher, i know that you will be doing that LT1 conversion, but i want to know if you have that air/fuel ratio hooked up to your , motor in the car now? If so how does it work for you, is it alright? I am considering picking one up but i have gotten mixed comments, thanks!

 

Well, when I had the car running earlier this year, the A/F Gauge was hooked up and working, I don't really think you can tune with it though since it is soo dynamic. Looks very cool though when you are driving.

Right now my car is motorless. My LT4 is sitting in my garage in pieces.

 

Mine fits good.....but it's a Lotek 3 gauge pod

 

FLYNLOW92rs....... They are available through Autometer.

Lotek stopped making the 3 gauge pod.

 

Thanks Zepher.

 

I think Autometer stopped making the 3 gauge pods too. I do know that Summit doesn't sell them anymore because of "constant backorder problems".

But if you got a set Friday, there must be some somewhere...

 

I ordered mine through my local auto parts store.

 

Ok, I just got the 3 gauge A pillar from Autometer that's supposed to be for the hardtop cars. It doesn't fit any better than the one that was meant to be for the T-Tops. It's like they need to position the pods a little further up the pillar.

 

I bought the 3 pod one for my ttop car...but decided to use it on the hardtop...all i did was trim a bit of it off and it mounted perfectly.

 

Time to vacuum that interior Zepher.

 

He'll get to it after he paints the car one color.

Hehe, just messin'.

 

lol

 

that was an old picture.
Right now there isn't any brake or clutch pedals, no tranny, no motor, no seats or console and the dash is coming out soon. Carpet will be coming out as well.
I want to paint the interior with that POR-15 to stop rust from forming.

 

mult68, how did it look after you trimmed it? Where did you trim it? Towards the top, or did you do some trimming on the lowest pod itself?

 

looks fine..ill post pictures tomorrow

 

mult68, Have you had a chance to take those pictures yet?

 

heh....you posted right as I was gonna post the pictures...here goes:

 

theres a small gap on the bottom where the two peices meet...but when its on the car, it presses up against the dash pad...so you cant see it anyways

 

And for those who didnt read the previous post....thats a ttop gauge pod (which I think is still available from Jegs) cut to fit on the hardtop pillar

 

Thanks mult68.
The part # for the T-Top 3 pod pillar is 12203.
The part # for the hard top 3 pod pillar is 12201.

 

mult68 did you cut up your full pillar pod or did you order one that wasn't a full pillar?

 

I originally ordered the t-top version of the full pillar pod. Even on the ttop car I would have to do some trimming though...so I said what the heck...I'll cut it up completely and use it on the hardtop. Hopefully I can still get my hands on another ttop pillar pod for my ttop car.

 

and in case you were wondering....the full pillar pod from Autometer is misleading...it doesnt actually replace the stock pillar...it merely goes over it (uses pull through plastic peices to hold it to the stock one).....I didnt know this at first....the old Lotek one actually replaced the stock pillar...this was what I thought I was getting....but its a good thing though...cause I heard that the Lotek one had problems with sagging in the middle since it was only attached to the car at the ends.

 

Ok, thanks. So did you cut about an inch off the top and bottom ends?

 

id say roughly 2-3 inches on the bottom....an inch up top.

 

Thanks for all the help mult68. :hail:

 

Here's a picture of my tripple pod, Autometer.....''

 

They are both $52.99, just thought i would add that.......

 

Yes but the hardtop version is no longer available from anyone....and the ttop version MAY still be available through Jegs....atleast this was the case a couple months ago.

 

They are still available. Autometer started making them again. I ordered mine through my local auto parts store.

 

How much was it??? Do you have to wait for it??? Also what auto parts store was this at???

 

I ordered it from O'Reilly's for around $64 with tax and shipping and all that good stuff. The first time they ordered me the wrong one and it took a month to get it. After I raised hell, they ordered the right one and I got it 2 days later.
