gauges and pods

[Ididriver]

sometime tonight or tomarow i am going to be ordering a fuel pressure, water temp and oil pressure gauges. already have a glowshift 3in 1 gauge for egt boost and about to plug oil temp into it.
i plan on doing a tripple pillar with the water,oil press and fuel pressure on it and the 3 in 1 on the dash similar to what alienturtle did.
any tips on the gauges. and any advice or links for pods would be nice.
this one for the dash

or somthing like thisthey have one to sit on the left side too. and just fill the hole with another gauge downn the line. prob a fuel level gauge.
any ideas?

what do you guys think?
and any tips on where to plug my fuel press gauge into.

in my experience with the pods on the dash is that our dash arnt anything close to flat. That is why i made my fiberglass pods mold to the dash. You can probable get those universal dash pods to work with some cutting a playing around.

as far as fuel pressure goes.. the best place to get it is at the fuel filter head itself. If you dont have an open port i would un thread the pressure sensor that trips the fuel filter light and put a T into that..that way you can screw the old pressure sensor plus your new fuel pressure sensor into it. Or if you dont care about the old sensor put it in the tool box and just thread your new fuel pressure sensor into the filter head. It is 1/8 npt.

Thanks alienturtle.
I was conteaplating going with the guad pillar but it seemed alittle high.
Mainly looking for ideas to put the 4th gauge I don't want it all half assed.

Thanks that's exatly what I needed to know on the fuel pressure

There is a 4 gauge pillar pod available.

I know. Just worried how high that last gauge would sit. Looks like it would be hard to see

I have driven many dodges with a pillar mounts and I much prefer the ones on the dash the a pillar ones are way harder to see.

i guess the quad doesnt look too bad.
how hard is it see all of the gauges in it?

 

[Cincinnati Guy]

Well if your real short it would probably be a little harder then if your a tall person. There saying they can see the top gauge perfect.

well im not really all that short. 5,10.
bottom seems to sit really low to. i wish i had one i could put up to see how itd look in person,
dont wanna buy somthing and have it be a waste of money you know?

I hate to blast your 3 in 1 glowshift, but if it was like mine I wouldnt plan on it lasting the truck out.

i might take you up on that.
only thing is its gonna cost me an extra 60 dollars to order the 4 pillar pod.
they have a u build it kit on the 3 set up im looking at for 176ish. 3 gauges and the 4 gauge pod comes out to 240ish.

well appartly i have one of there newer more "revised" gauges.
but if it dies just gives mean exuse to replace it with 3 instead of just one. look like a cockpit on the inside
