Overhead gauge update
 
I finished my overhead gauge install. Went with the polished aluminum panel with Autometer C2 boost and fuel pressure gauges. Wiring wasn't hard to get up there at all. I did have to cut the wires autometer sent with the gauges and lengthen them to reach. Other than that, no issues with the install. Gauge holder just clipped firmly in the compartment and is a perfect fit. They are easy to see from the drivers seat and look really cool, IMO

I have that project half way complete. Too busy and too lazy

I have the autometer FP and AF Ultra Lite gauges and the same billet gauge holder with the Swtiches.

That looks awesome!! I would get extra gauges just to have any excuse to do that, but I would lose my rear AC control :(
Those gauges look killer :)

That looks great man!!! :D How much of a pain was it to run all the wires? Did you have to pull down the headliner? Tell me some more details, I need to do my boost gauge this way!!

Looks sweet!!

man that looks good

Fuel pressure sits about 52-53psi at idle. Goes up to 60+ under throttle. This is correct, isn't it?

Before I fixed the vacuum line, it was 60psi at idle and light throttle, then dropped under load.
