Throttle bar graph

Willie, could you tell us how you went about doing this??


I also have a logrithmic 11-LED throttle position bargraph mounted just below the front lip of the dashpad, centered above the steering column. These LED's are all red and indicate TPS voltage. This "meter" has two functions:

1) When the third LED from the right is lit (3.00 V), it engages two relays:

a) Cuts out the A/C compressor if it's on and;

b) signals the Jacobs ignition to go to "full throttle" mode, bypassing the
variable function.

2) When the second LED from the right is lit (3.50 V), it sends voltage to the nitrous system.
As long as fuel pressure is greater than 38 psig and the "Nitrous" arming switch is on, this energizes
fuel and nitrous solenoids.

Other than the functionality of this "meter", it beats to the tune of your foot on the gas pedal -- a "guy" thing, if you know what I mean. It just looks cool!!!
