whats everyone runnin in the pillar pods. im gettin the dual pod and i donno what i should stick in there. i want air/fuel but i donno what for the other one. no super charger yet so i cant do boost and i dont run nitrous. i was thinkin vacuum. post pics of your gauges and who makes em cause i still gotta pick out gauges.

 

Heres mine, the one on the bottom is a tranny temp gauge and the top is air/fuel

 

Auto meter 3 pod pillar with auto meter carbon fiber gauges (closest match to stock gauges) Top is Transmission Temp, Middle is Vacum gauge and bottom is air/fuel ratio.

 

I've got a triple pod with trans temp, water temp, and A/F

 

A/F and vacuum.

 

Right now I have temp and a/f ratio.Soon will be boost and a/f.

 

heres mine, top is a/f , then trans temp and then vacume. probably replace the vacume with a fuel pressure gauge.

 

The top one is an A/F gauge, the bottom one is a temperature gauge that has an adjustable setting to control one of my electric cooling fans. Wow....they look all scratched up in this pic, but they don't in real life

how does one wire up a tranny temp gauge?

 

Concidering it was a base model with only idiot lights...oil, temp, volts...

Planning to run digital guages that actually fit soon. This was a rush job so I could smooth and paint the dash guage cover. (had to relocate the guages from where they were mounted before)

Also going to go with an all digital dash, so the standard guages will be moved there. The pillar pads will then get whatever is left over...

Crap pic not linking...wtf! ok link to page on my site

 

3-pod from autometer. Awsome fit. Went with autometer Phantom gauges. Just thought there were the nicest during the daytime. A/F up top, fuel pressure in the middle, and vaccum at the bottom. enjoy.



Change to amber bulbs to match the dash at night. It kind of makes them less distracting and easier on the eyes. Looks good.

 

Those look pretty cool

 

please others post more. i would also like to see some more night time pics of what different gauges look like at night. Timz2882 what kind of guage cluster do you have there. that think is sick. i saw one similiar in a car craft i believe. some place sells them with autometer gauges but they are like 500+ dollars. all of the other clusters on that page were for 67-69 camaros and chevelles. i just happened to see the 82-92 cluster on the bottom of the page.

 

its the one that Corvan Classic's sells. they have a few ads i think in car craft and a bunch of others. i got the cluster piece and wiring harness off of a member here that didnt use it. i think i paid $220 for the cluster and wiring harness. and then i bought all the gauges seperate. so i have about agood $600+ sittin there. heres a pic with the LED bulbs i put in it. looks 10x better in person and will look better once i get my new alternator which mine just decided to crap out on me on sunday.

 

is it pretty easy to see with at night either way with regular bulbs and the leds.

 

i have a sportcoupe base model and didn't have any of the regular guages from the factory, so mine are oil pressure, water temperature and voltage meter. i would like to come up with another place to put some more guages without looking too gawdy, but haven't figured any concrete ideas out yet. for some reason, other than a higher reading speedo, i really have no desire to put a regular guage cluster in it.

 

mine are exh gas temp ,fuel press ,and nitrous press

 

i found its easier on my eyes at night to read the gauges. depends on the driver.

 

someone post some more day and night pics

 

Mine hits the dash bad though. Took some fitting to coax it in.
