Does anyone have a mechanical nitrous gauge on the apillar? I am wondering where you ran the line? I am thinking of drilling a hole somewhere on the driver's side of the car since the hole under the PCM is full!! Besides running the line, was it easy to manuever the hose to get it to the gauge?

With the dual gauge pod, do you screw/glue/tape the pod onto the stock a pillar and then cut the part of the apillar that is under the pod away so you can run the line and wires?

Lastly, are Cyberdyne digital gauges a good gauge? They are fairly cheap, hell of alot cheaper than the autometer electrical. Just wondering if they read correctly.

 

You're going to have a hard time fitting a mechanical nitrous gauge in the A-pillar. The AN fitting on the back of the gauge, and the rigidity of the AN line that connects to it makes it almost impossible to get the gauge at the angle required by the A-pillar pod.

The pod pins to the pillar, and you need a hole for the hose to stick through, plus the wires for the light. I epoxied my dual pod to the pillar, filled the edges with bondo and repainted it to match the interior.

I have seen a lot of comments regarding problems with the "digital" type fuel pressure gauges.

 

Looking at http://cjcfo.fbody.com/members/injun...E/Interior.jpg

How much clearance from the back of a gauge to the a pillar would you say there is? How about from the face of the pod to the apillar?

Think I should completely steer from the digital even though it is less than half the cost of an analog autometer?

I talked to you in email about the fuel isolator for a mechanical gauge. What do you think of the quality of Mallory products? They make an isolator that is less expensive than Autometer's and would make an analog gauge cost about the same as a digital (or half of electrical) since i already have lots of braided SS line.

I guess I just cant justify spending 200+ on one gauge?!

 

TTT anyone else?

I've found one person who had a mech n2o gauge in the apillar, anyone else have one?

 

I just saw a post a couple days ago.... maybe on the "Appearance" forum, where someone asked for pictures of a triple pod, and one person who responded had an N2O pressure gauge in his triple. Might want to do a search. The thread wasn't about nitrous gauges, it was looking for pictures of triple pods to see how useful they were.

 

Thanks Fred!
