Lets see your aftermarket gauges

[shortchevy]

ever since I replaced my fuel pump I have been thinking about getting a fuel gauge that gets mounted under the hood. Ive been doing some research and coming up short on a gauge that mounts to the fuel rail Schroeder valve without having a leaking problem. so Ive decided to mount some inside. most likely 3, Vacuum, fuel pressure and oil temp. where do you guys mount them? I would love to do a console that meets the dash and mount them like a old camaro but with the manual tranny that idea is out... show me what you guys do! thanks in advanced

You could always try getting the pillar (?) guage holder and mounting them in that.

thats a last resort for me... i think they look ricey... not really "muscle car" material

You don't want a fuel pressure gauge inside unless it's electric (if there is such a thing). A leak on a mechanical fuel pressure gauge in the cab could be very bad.

AMEN! I dont want any fluids plumbed into the cab. Autometer has full sweep electric gauges like this, http://autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?gid=3721&sid=67 they come with a sending unit and you just run wires into the cab instead of fuel (or oil for oil temp/pressure)... plus I get a pretty good discount on autometer....

I don't think oil would be a big deal. My dad had one in his old Dodge when I was a kid. It eventually started leaking, but was nothing more than a wet spot. Gas on the other hand would vaporize and be highly flammable.

I mounted a fuel pressure gauge & a a/f ratio in the overhead console

Here is a picture of the underhood fuel pressure gauge I have on my truck, no leaking problems with it.

I know its last resort but here is the pillar gauge pod I have too. Trans temp and air/fuel ratio.

dirtridinz71 you dont know how bad I wish I only needed a 15 lb fuel pressure gauge. ha! I would really like to have the gauge under the hood, just dont know how to hook it up safely. with 55-60lbs of pressure the last thing I want is gas all over a hot motor... as a side note, clean interior! your last picture reminded me of my 93, boy do I miss that truck

I have an air gauge/switch for my helpers where my ash tray should be.
