And here is a quick photshop I whipped up, the gauges " wich I already have" will be FAZE indiglo voltage, oil press., water temp., Boost/Vac., and Air fuel "A/F is a maybe."
I will also be installing a Grant sig. series wheel and the faze 5" tach, the tach will be located next to the A-pillar, you need to visualize these things into the pic lol.
So I need input, tips, comments good or bad are welcome.

The spacing and having them all the same size looks a little odd... maybee if you put a bigger tach and speedo incorperated in the cluster?

speedo doesn't work so I won't have one.
The tach is a 5" and is to big to fit where the gauges go.
Another option I have is a 3 gauge pillar and 2 autometer gauge cups in front of the wheel on the dash pad, the tach will still go next to the gauge pillar.
the stock cluster will still be there but I will pull out the bulbs "85 have bulbs" so @ night they won't light up.

i wouldnt go crazy like that, and then be like "the speedo doesnt work i wont have one" ... heh if your gonna do it do it right
but anyways, i have to agree with the last guy
but i also personally like the stock arrangement myself, 4 guages in 2 pods
definately make space for a speedo, and a fuel guage is nice too
