i agree 89MustangGX on the headers, only mine are just the SS and they got a nice coating of surfice rust onn them not long after intstall. I'd like to have them looking nice but I got the set brand new from the dealer for $100. Can't complain there.


As far as the guages I may go with one of these kits., looks good

don't mean to try and hijack the thread but the 78 MGB comment was kinda funny because me and my best friend just put a rover V8 in his 78 MGB. He has those guages in his car look good.

I did the six gauge pod, but didn't order the complete kit from them. I got my gauges from summit and the pod/lights from florida50. They wouldn't give me the instructions on how to wire everything up, but it was simple enough. I saved a lot of money that way though.

I would do this pod.. its from MC Machine and Beau @ Mental Addiction gets them.. I think its like 150.. do not remember because I bought mine so long ago. The finish is spectacular and the dummy lights rock. Its all CNC and everything fit beautifully... Beau is at 480-203-7038.

if i took the factory fuel pressure gauge wires and spliced them to the new gauge, would the fuel level be right on? and do the gauges come with aftermarket sending units? THANKS!

Assuming you mean fuel level -- then yes. Be sure to get the proper fuel level gauge for the factory sender and then it will work properly. If you're thinking about havuing two fuel level gauges -- I am not sure what the results would be. This is only assuming one.
