i would like to use my twin pillar guage cluster, what would be the best two guages to put in here?

i want to have guages, but only if it's useful; it's a lot of money to spend for something not needed.

 

Fuel pressure would be good.
Maybe nitrous bottle pressure too?

I have the molded pod with places for three guages. I have digital intellitronix air/fuel and fp w/ hi low memory. I haven't been able to find an electrical N2O pressure
guage at all. All the one's I've found are mech. and 2 5/8's.

Intellitronix told me that the problem is in the sender. They tried to make a guage but couldn't find a suitable sender that can take the temp fluctuation. I find that hard to believe with all the technology these days.

 

where did u find a three guage pillar, is it made for the 3rdgen, or is it one just modified? i've only found the two guage pillar and it ran around $24

I would say that Fuel Pressure and NOS Guage are a must and if you do get a three guage pod Air/Fuel would be the very next thing I would get

sorry I dont have a link for the guage tripple pods but I know there out there somewhere

anyone know where to find the three guage pillar?

 

I got mine from Lo-Tek.

http://www.gaugepods.com/fbody.htm

 

If you look on Lo-tek's site they say that with 20 orders they will make a pillar replacement... maybe we can get 20 people here and have them make a 2-guage pillar replacement that has rounder holders... the three just doesn't look right to me.

 

how much rounder would you like them to be? just get autometer 2 pillar then, nice and easy for $24......or i'll sell u mine if i get the three guage pillar.

does anyone have the three pillar, what do u like and dislike about it?

 

I have the 3 gauge pod.

The best thing is that it's a single molded piece. People notice them a lot.

The top gauge is really right there in your face if you know what I mean.

Mounting it requires 2 holes to be drilled into the pillar. 3 guages are heavy and the molded pod will not be sturdy with just the one stock screw at the top holding it all.
The black screws come with the kit but the drill bit doesn't.

The mounting was easy. Just remember when you mark for the hole's press the whole assembly towards the pillar so you can simulate how it will fit with the screws tightened. Then mark the holes.

My stock pillar cover had a rubber strip on the outside that covered a gap between the cover and the exposed pillar. The new piece didn't have that so until I get some sort of rubber or window fuzzy like stuff you can see the wires stuffed between the cover and pillar with the window down or door open.

The only thing I need to do is find a N2O pressure guage.

post all the details and let us know, i have a few guys interested too, see about the 3 guage as well.......as in any discounts and whatnot! i agree, the add on's don't look that nice

 

I just broke down yesterday and ordered the autometer add-on from jegs. I was tired of having my two guages mounted in my ash-tray. If someone wants to email the place and see if they will make a 2-guage pillar that looks like the lt1 pillar (if you read on the bottom of their page they say with 20 orders they will make a product, we already have 3..) then I would be in on it definately.

 

are the three guage really that much of overkill?

 

I really think so

but then again that's just IMO

sounds good to me I say we make a new post somewhere and try to get the rest to make the 20 orders

what do you guys think?

DO they make one of those Lo-tec jobbies for a non-t-top car?
