Hey Fractal, what size gage is that?

I looked on the Summit site and found a Ford Racing boost gage but it was 2 5/8"... the only steering column pod I can find is at Jegs and it is only 2 1/16".

I really like your setup and plan on ordering it as soon as I can find the same size components...

Thanks!
Sammy

Has anyone seen 2 5/8" steering column pods?
Or the Ford Racing boost gage in 2 1/16?

the speedometer is a little under 65 and the tach is a little over 2000. i'm sure that our tach (like many other factory tachs) is a little off from vehicle to vehicle..

Here you go:

Gauge: FMS-M11622-A200 $54.95
Pod: ATM-15004 $31.95
Green Bulb Covers: ATM-3215 $3.95

You also need some teflon tape for the fitting, a blue sharpie for the bulb, some extra 18 gauge wire, splice connectors, and butt connectors.

Thanks man... would you happen to know the part number for the 20 psi gage? These gages are not on the main list for some reason...

No I don't sorry. I think the 20 psi gauge is PSI only with no vacuum. I'd think you'd want to see vacuum too....

Fractal, was that easy to install? Isn't the pressure line located very close to the steering column? Also, the description in Summit mentions nothing about the gage being illuminated.

Took awhile to install because my friend is colorblind

In actuality, it should really only take about an hour to do. Gauge IS illuminated...

Looks great, I thought it would detract more from the main gauges, but who goes slower than 40 anyway. Great job!

I thought the same thing...but the only thing it really hides is the odometer
