Answer any Q's or all. But as for gauges, when u guys run or ran your gauges, how'd y'all go about it?
Pics or tips, particularly routing wiring?
Did most go thru boot near power brake booster? If so, how?
What worked best?
So how many have shoved wiring for 4 gauges thru that bulkhead or more?
Is it gonna be really tight?
I was thinkin it'd be be to shove wiring for all at same time or does 1 or 2 at a time push thru easier?
I've got 4 gauges to run, all Autometer. W/B (Wideband), F/P (Fuel Press), Boost, & a DPIC. The most critical to me are the 1st 3. The DPIC is for play.
What do u guys view most / mounted to view where?
My logic is in next paragraph.
I was thinkin 2 in O/H console out the back end of it (I have the short version not the full length O/H console) mounted in a custom mount. W/B closest to me in there, figuring this is most critical. Next to it, I could put F/P or Boost, but which I'd get more use outta.
I thought I had a Boost / Vac gauge, but it appears I never bought that, as it's only Boost.
If I mount F/P in there, there's no room for a 3rd gauge in that O/H unless I drill a 2"+ hole in Driver's side of that console. If I did that, then I gotta only find a home for DPIC. But now, that hole is cut out & while filled w/. a gauge, I'm not so sure I wanna cut up a perfectly good O/H console, anyone got a spare gray 1?
So let's say, W/B & F/P up top, Boost is gotta go somewhere. Ashtray?
Any thoughts as we go along here will be considered, while I have my ideas, maybe somethin I haven't thought of / out.
Boost in ashtray lends a certain somethin.
But if inaccessible to my eye, how handy is it then?
To be honest, there's only 2 other potential gauges I'd ever add, 1 of which is a trans temp ga., but a different cluster could negate that, since it'd include it.
So, in theory, a gauge yet undetermined could go in ashtray or the seat?
Bottom line, really tryin to not cut O/H for a 3rd, if there's room for it in there w/. 2 others anyway, & no cuts in IP cluster bezel. I really dislike cuttin trim to mount gauges, just me tho. But if it's clean, I might reconsider.
I kinda thought of 1 or 2 under dash on a gauge plate too. If 2 gauges go there, 2 up top, that leaves ashtray open...if I should ever see a gauge there.

I didn't forget where the Radix was, but the Trick tank. Kinda hard to miss a 5' stack of ~85 lbs. of cardboard on living room floor. 
I've moved some **** 'round the house, so it screws me up.
Now where are them pullies...?
Or was that a dream?
