I am going to buy a boost gauge. Based on previous threads it appears as though Stewart Warner is the best gauge for the money. I just want to make sure I am buying the right stuff.

I am buying the following. This is all I need right?

Am I missing something?

I am also looking for the single pod that goes on top of the steering column. Where can I get one of those?

Thanks!

 

Seems like you got everything there. nice work. as for the pod, I don't know.

 

Lancer Shop sells that pod, I believe. I am going for the VDO boost gauge for a more old-school look, but either one should work.

 

AAHHH it's MArilyn ManSon.... lol

 

You will probably want to purchase the red LED to go with your gauge from 42draftdesigns, so it matches your interior.

This is a viable post because i have also stated in the past and agree that 42draftdesigns is the most confusing website i have ever used to purchase something.

 

Heh heh. Glad someone finally commented on my avatar. I was beginning to feel unloved.

 

that hose connector seems kinda long in the back. Does the back part interfere with the backing of the pods or not?

 

+1 Great question.

 

I also had the same question...Maybe someone with the gauge could chime in

 

ive got the vdo gauges in the 42draft designs 3 gauge thing. its doesnt stick back too much. but mines in the radio's old location so there is plenty of room going back there. im at work now but ill check for a real depth when i get some time.

 

Yeah, get the Stewart Warner gauge. I have it on my car, and it's much more accurate than the Autometer gauges that my friends run. For the money, it works great, and matches the stock cluster fairly well.

You should also get the tubing, whicih you have linked to above.

I ordered the red LED (not the amber), and it matches well at night.

Their website can be confusing, but order these three things and you're set:
Gauge
Tubing
Red LED

You can get fuel tubing from Autozone for cheaper, but the tubing from 42DD fits the gauge perfectly.

As for a mounting pod, I can't remember where I got mine.

 

does it matter that the gauge doesnt have vacuum readings?

 

The connector is pretty long in the back, but 90% of pod gauges have a hole in the bottom center of the back of the pod to accomodate the hose. It should be a univeral thing on any gauge pod.

 

Just found the gauge pod that I'm using (DAMN, that thing was expensive):
