Gauges Installed - Thanks to Injuneer....
Finally go my formula down on ground and took her out for the maiden voyage after a rocker arm failed which lead me down a long and winding road. Anyway, one of the upgrades I made was to install a real water temp gauge and oil temperature gauge. I used autometer full sweep electric gauges (sweet pieces) and mounted them in the center a/c vents (per the Injuneer's web site and write up)...couldn't be happier. Looks clean, they fit like a glove and at night they totally match the color of the other gauges if you use the red bulb (I bought the red LED replacement bulb from autometer) or the red bootie would probably do the same....
Thanks again to the Injuneer, a painless install.
As a side note, he factory water temp gauge is worthless, we all know its really an idiot light, but didn't break 185 last night cruising up and down route 33 checking the Wendy's, sloan ave. taco bell, blasting up and down 295. If it clears up today I'm going to northeast philly tonight.....fun times lie ahead...
