I'm planning a custom gauge setup replacing the factory gauges with Autometers. Also adding a couple more in the dash were the AC vent would be and I picked up the Autometer Dash Pod for 94-98 Stangs and it fits pretty good. Here are a couple pics with the Pod mounted over the dash speaker hole.

Looks like it would block forward vision.

No, a snorkel hood scoop would block vision.

When your 6'3" like me the rear view mirror is what blocks my vision not something on the dash.

I like it Did you have to mod the dash at all ? or did you just have to screw it down. Being 6'4" I know what you mean about the damn rearview mirror, i'm glad I got a T-top car for the additional head room

Had to spread the center vents on the speaker grill for the mounting bolt to pass through, that's it.

DAAAAAAUM


Being 5'6" my steering wheel is in the way no JK but the car doesn't lend itself well to tall folks with long legs especially with the Escort GT seat mod.

ps the gauges look good though who said we couldn't use aftermarket stuff although it does suck being left out of the books.... like 74-78 mustangs don't exist.

I actually have trans and oil temp gauges in the pod. I'm gonna put oil press and vacuum in dash were the AC vents go.

I was thinkin a vacuum guage. It'd move around a lot, looks pretty cool.

But I was thinkin an O2 guage, I think they look awesome. Just 1 prop, I only have one spot (for now) and If I only put 1 O2 sensor in, its gonna be clear back by the rearend. If I put 2 sensors in,(1 in each bank) I need a second place to put the 2nd guage. . . . not a bad thing, I was thinkin about a pillar pod. Might be kinda "ricey" though.

OOps, I said the "R" word, let the flamin begin.

Sorry, I didnt mean to hijack your thread Jeff, Ill shuddup now.

Thx all.
