I think I can count the times on one hand that mine has been over 80!

When I was trying to locate my tach on the column, before I made it permanant, I kept moving the pod around to see what was the best for seein and not covering up vital guages... thats the only spot that never hid anything I needed to know!

I bought the column mount and the Isspro meter will not fit entirely into the hole... it (the gauge) is about 3/4" to long..... Maybe I am doing something wrong... the light in the gauge and the prongs for the dash style mount interfere with the flush fit as seen in KRB's photo...

I had to trim off the studs for the dash mount on my autometer as well and it was still a tight fit. got it held in the cup with a hose clamp.

well the 94-01 column pod is what is used on first gens too.get it on genos garage.However it is not what it appears to be. It is not replacing the stock one it has little stickies with it that are used to attach it to the column.We put and autometer egt in there (have to cut studs on back to fit) so when your going real fast and worrying about egt the speedo and egt are both right there.

I didn't use the sticky tapes. I got some short screws and screwed the cover to the original coluum shroud. Look close in the pic I posted earlier and you will see one of the screws.

That's actually ofcmarc's photo but if you showed it to me I'd say its mine. Same interior color etc.

My Issopro fit the pod with minor modafications. I bought a spare column cover from the junk yard in case I wanted to remove the pod and return it back to stock. Drilled a hole in it for the wires to go through into the column plus the 3/16 holes for the plastic "rivits" that hold the pod onto the column cover (ofcmarc used screws in the photo). Had to cut off the mounting stud protruding from the back of the Issopro, slighly bend a spade connector and then a wrap of electrical tape to make the guage fit tight. That was it. Others said that the guage was too long and you'd have to cut the back out of the pod but they must have a different Issopro.

Mine has lights too. It's the model that plugs in directly to the stock wiring. I'll have to lookup the part number.
