yeah ryan, those aftermarket gauges are pointless, get a "TPS adjustment sensor" and "chrome" those tail light bezels immediately
all thats left to get to do my heads and cam swap is get a double roller timming chain, decided what heads i want to use, 1.6 or 1.7 RR then head gaskets and new head bolts and im ready to go
usually what happens in these cars, and the aftermarket senders fit where the stockers go, thus upgrading gauges makes the stock ones dead. i know when i bought mine the stock water temp gauge was dead, my old lx was the same way. the autometer i got is way more accurate anyway.
What heads? Hopefully TF or AFR. And when it comes down to those 2, hopefully the right cam too.
im going mild with the came.

heads im thinking gt40's of i can find them then port them, 1.6 rockers. and my steeda cam. with the explorer upper and lower. i think i could make 270 at the wheels with it. maybe
Get a T fitting for the oil pressure sender and hook your stock gauge back up. I also like having Autometer gauges that give you a real reading. But I like having the stock one work too. I think you could get more out of that combo. 25th made 272 with his set up if I recall correctly. Either way, car looks awesome. Your doing some really nice well done mods to that thing!!
