Beware, if you dont have the plastic on your pillars, as I do.the pillar pod will not fit.I had to go with a dash pod.

thanks for the info guys, it has came in very handy. i was told that the single pod for the steering column on the 2nd gen dodges would work on the first gen. i didnt believe it, but i thought i would ask and see if any of you all had heard anything about it.
thanks for the help

If you have the late model rectangular column cover I would believe that. I'm not sure what year they stopped using the old round column. I know '92's have the new column, so give it a try.

If you have the "square" style column cover, the 2nd gen pod fits perfectly. I am using one for my trans temp gauge. The only problem I have with it, is that depending on seating position, it can block the high beam bulb.

Man, I wish I had known that before I went and drilled holes in the pillar. Oh well, the tach's on the column blocking the high beam bulb now.
