This shop is located on Windfern not too far from 1960 & Jones Rd. They did an excellent job on my fuel pressure guage.

im sure we could get together and knock it out. its a very simple install. the boost is just removing a bolt in replacing it w/ another one, and i bet we could figure the egt probe out
