I'm pretty sure they also make vent cages that hold three 2 1/16 guages. Did you look around latemodelresoration.com already?
Bummer only holds 2 5/8's gauges
If I want to get a D-PIC gauge they only come in 2 1/16
it seems like you're bent on getting gauges that won't help you monitor the health of your engine at all, you don't need a "d-pic" or an oil temp... about 10 guys on here including myself have told you the smartest and most effective ones to get to replace the stock crap, but it's your car, do as you please...
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the advice, I just don't track my car so I feel the stock crap is good enough

So are your water and oil gauges in the dash dead or are they still hooked up?

There really isnt any way do keep the stock guages working because you replace the sending unit with them.
everyone on here is trying to help you out, the oil and water temps are 100% worth thier weight in bling, for whatever you use the car for. and that is especially true on the street, the last thing you want to do is overheat the car. If you want something like that d-1 or whatever guage it is that tells you quarter mile etc. then go buy a g-tech meter, it will be easier to use, more accurate, and in the long run you will be happier with it.

I dont care for the monster tach when you still have one in the stock cluster. I know how unreliable the stock gauges are, but when I go through the trouble to put in new guages I'll be using the ones from Florida 5.0 like Wythers posted. They have some really nice looking ones and you'll have room for 6 new reliable gauges right there.
Of course there is.
T-fitting where the oil pressure gauge is
Put the sender for the water temp gauge in the stock location and relocate the stock sender to the rear of the intake. There is a port there with just a plug in it. Take out the plug and the sender goes right in. You'll also notice the rear of the intake has cooler coolant and the gauge will read 1 tick lower.
I put mechanical water temp and oil pressure gauges in my A-pillar. If you go with a mechanical oil pressure gauge, you should really run AN line to it.

So I want to add a few gauges where should I put them?
Opinions??

Was thinking oil temp and ??
Pictures of your set ups would be cool.

wow, you ask for opinions, then people give you an answer, then you ask if something else is better than what 5 different people just told you to buy.
For the record i mentioned the water temp and oil pressure twice, and your hostility is pretty unnecessary, if you dont want peoples advice dont ask for it.
