Now I just need two more gauges. The mounting bracket on the bottom of the pod was for a ferd but it fit really good with very minimal sanding. I actuallt like this set up better than the one made for the dodge.

What are the part numbers for the pod. Was the base seperate from the pod section. That looks very nice. Very nice.

I did not see any part numbers on anything. There was no original packaging. The person I bought it from said it was bought for a ferd but never used.

that looks like the one that US GEAR was selling. The bottom halves came application specific but the tops are all the same. Very nice.

The next 2 gauges you might want to look into are fuel pressure, and tranny temp. to keep an eye on your auto.

Keep notes of what you change and you can always put it back if you don't like it.

Thats a good thought. I am just one of those people who needs to understand exactly how everything works before I mess with it. How much egt is safe?
