point me to a site that will give me all the advise that idiots such as myself need to keep it from being a 8 hour project... Yes, I really am that retarded sometimes... They are autometer guages and I'm going to be installing them as well as a a-pillar thing to mount them on... any advise or some pictures of an install that anyone has done would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, they are a boost guage and a fuel pressure guage.

Thank you for your support.

All I can tell you is be patience, I did my N20, A/F (just for looks), and my tach all at the same time and it took me about 5hrs.

here is the pod...



here are the gauges...





not my favorite or anything, but cheap and do what they have to do. I really don't want to get them, but they are kinda needed with my mods.

The guy at f'nsweet took of the kick-panel which involves taking of the runner panel and peeling back the seal. BIG PAIN IN THE ASS. Just take out the instrument cluster and run the wires from there. You still use the same firewall pass-through and the wires still get behind the a-pillar by the same route.

Here are the wires I used for power:

Pull the dimmer switch out, remove the plug to get easy access to the wire. Don't cut the wire where it bends away from the plug. Go back a couple of inches to make the cut.
The dimmer:

The next picture is the plug that goes into the right-hand side (your right while facing it) plug for the cluster.
The power from the ignition:

bump, just so I can find it easier on the first page when I'm doing the job... I'll be using my old man's garage, and the internet connection is RIDICULOUSLY slow.

Indiana...that top picture, which color wire are you pointing to? And that is attached to the dimmer so it is for the light hook ups on the guages?
