Gauges

[S-west]

I have a glow shift 3 in 1 boost egt and fuel pressure. Works good for the most part but sometimes the numbers will jump around. Oh and if you turn the key on and off a few times before start up, wait for the gauge to light up first, otherwise it will confuse the crap out of it and you have to disconnect the positive and reconnect to get it to work right again.

Don't forget my thread last month on my ISSPro buy in. I should hear any day now if I've been accepted as a dealer or not.

Gettin ready to pull the trigger today, I've heard bad things about Glowshift fuel pressure senders though. I'm having a hard time deciding between the 3 in 1, or getting a mechanical boost (I'd rather have the 35 psi anyway) and pyro separately. The do a mechanical fuel pressure later. Any advice here?

Well i got my pyro....

Al can be jealous now...

Not Jealous....happy for ya...love it when a good deal is had!

Good on ya, so it came with a thermocouple and wow...let us know how it works, if it's crap I won't bother with it

Way to go!

Okay, I'll bite...what gauges do you have?

I'm planning to run pyro, boost, oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp gauges in the long term; I just have to figure out which of ISSPro's lines to go with before placing an order with Mel I'm running a 5 speed, so I figure there's no need for a transmission temp gauge in my application, and I think the factory voltmeter's good enough...

 

[gatorman21218]

pyro, water temp, oil press, 2 fuel pressure, oil temp, boost, 2 fuel level. all are mechanical except fuel level and egt obviously

That's what I chose, ordered 35psi boost and 1500 degree pyro on Friday. Thinking I will add a cowl mounted Autometer Ultra-nite fuel pressure later on. Also have oil pressure and water temp going in, looks like its gauge install week.

 

[heff]

is the iss gauge bigger than 2 5/8"? where do you mount something that big if so?
i had a hell of time deciding where to put my 2 1/16" autometer egt.
but the dual egt seems like a good idea...

 

[freebird01]

Its a 3" gauge. Im going make a custom pod for on top of the dash (bricknose)

Dang, ordered my Glowshifts Friday, just picked them up from the post office. Will install after work and report back.

Not to thread jack but I got quoted $420 for triple guage pillar, autometer pyro,boost and fuel pressure guages. Because I buy so many parts from the store I'm getting a discount of $180 off regular price. I take it that I couldn't get autometer quality guages+pod for that price? Still crazy IMO, I could almost buy another IDI for the price of guages And I NEED the pyro for my moose, fuel pressure is always a good idea for troubleshooting or preventing F$&$ ups and boost is for my curiosity. So I can justify buying all three, but the prices hurt
