    Gauge Locations for 93 classic.

    Okay,

    In an attempt to find out what the oil pressure is doing I was also going to install a few more gauges like voltage and water temp etc.

    The older classics had 4 gauges in the dash. I was thinking of using the hole saw and doing a similar thing + they look cool.

    Has anyone else here been game to potentially ruin their dash by doing this. Also thinking about clearances behind the front bit of the dash.

    I think if done right it will look really nice instead of using a tripple pod on top.

    I also was thinking of getting an after market fuel gauge as the one I have connected to the 140L tank is erratic. Do I need another sender? Easy to install?

    Cheers

    Yeah I did it on my 89 back in 2005
    I used VDO gauges and senders looks good backlit in green red dials just like the original speedo indicators.
    Wasnt hard but do use a 50mm good quality hole saw as there is metal to go through. I also fitted a JVC DVDplayer/.mp3 player with 2 amps and 8 speakers

    thanks Brad, I was thinking of going 2 on the left and 2 on the right of the middle part because I thought it would be in the way. Looks like you've been able to squeeze them all in.

    I've been eyeing off glowshift gauges ;

    GlowShift Performance Gauges & Pods or ebay.

    Only because you can choose 7 different colours, they look really nice. Some may think cheap but I like lights :P lol.

    thanks

    Looks great!!!!

    I just ordered 2 of the white series. How easy is it to install the fuel pressure gauge? But yes that would help indicate any fuel pump issues etc

    Cheers

    I've got a fibreglass gauge pod that John E Davis Motorworks (now Davis Performance Landys) made for the dash top on hard dash Rangies. I can't find a pic on the 'net.

    How easy to install the Fuel pressure gauge ? I think on your model there is schrader valve on the manifold (could be me D3 thinking of LOL!) Being a electronic guage, the sender unit just screws/adapts to it. On a Flapper , just tee into into the Cold start injector . Fuel pressure equals power on the old flapper system , not sure it means that much on a 14CUX system .(Closed versus open loop systems)

    Many earlier 14CUX rails do not have a schrader valve.
    AFAIK the rails with the regulator on the RH side and the temp sensor at the friont do not have a valve. My 92 RRC does not have one.
    The later disco ones with the regulator on the LH rear may/do have one.
