well i got my pod in and its not going to work without some modification. i didn't see in the pic that there is a big hole under the gauges where it would slide under and over the head liner. and the gauges tilt up to much when on the dash. the angle towards the driver is good. i think i can make it work and if i can it will look bad a**.

Genos has a 3 guage that some report can be modified to fit a 1sr gen dash http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....er=GM-DG-15002

I have the double like ofcmarc with dual Westachs which gives me 4 guages there. Wish I had bought a triple before they quit makin' 'em. For my 5th I used a 2nd gen steering column pod for my tach. Now need to find an ergonomic, functional and aesthetic solution for a fuel pressure guage...

ofcmarc - whats that toggle do?

stacked - be sure and post pics as well as what you had to do, how much trouble and the end result please

GLHS has four on his dash. Maybe ask him where he got it. Kinda looks like the one in ofcmarcs pic, so maybe its not available anymore...

So you'll have to build a base for it to set in then? Is it going to sit leftish of the wheel so the angle is right?

How come you don't just put in over the rearview?

Yeah I'm going to have to build a base and a few reasons that I don't put it up top.is that the visors hit and i dont have a head liner so u would see the wires and I also have a mechanical fuel pressure gauge.
