What kind of boost gauge?

[at t 2d]

I am looking for a gauge to show vacuum & boost. I understand that the one on the dash is not very accurate. Does any one have any suggestions on the brand of gauge and the mounting location.

I'm running an autometer sport comp II. 30/30, vacuum/boost. If I did it again my gauges would not be "through the dial" lighted. Way too intense lighting for the in your face pillar pod.

Tinted 7 Color 30 PSI Boost / Vacuum Gauge


this is the one i use mounted on the A pillar. i chose it over others mostly for the red option... i like my gauges to match

the red is a bit dark during the day, so ill set it to white when the sun is up which also looks good.

the price isnt bad either.

my car is getting a transmission rebuild done so i cant take any pics, but this old one kinda shows the mounting location. its underneath a knock gauge. i have razors alky injection kit and ran the activation and low tank level lights above the knock gauge to the sides. thats my A pillar setup.

I have never seen gauges on the "A" pillar in person. Is that a replacement pillar, or do the pods attach to it? If they attach, do you have to damage the pillar to install the pods?

Thanks

It's a kinda a snap over the the top of the old pillar cover deal. Crude, but effective. All 3 or 2 pods are molded into a replacement A pillar trim cover to cover the old piece top to bottom.

I hacked the crap out of my original pillar trim to get all three gauge harness and plumbing down through safely without binding anything. I slotted 2 long holes about 3/4" wide to do this. Next I bought some used A pillar trim to undo the damage if need be.

All said and done it looks nice.
