LMAO

I have lost several. But I also have found a few. When I got back my truck from Ford with the new motor, there was several nuts missing, nothing critical but stuff to hold brackets,etc... I also found a 7 mm socket and and 8 mm socket. The 8 mm was great because I lost mine in the engine bay of my civic the day before.

Tampa, do you have any more plans to glass some more gauges anywhere?

No, I have enough gauges already.
I plan on installing a navigator overhead console and using the digital temp sensor in the console to read intake air temps. I will do this with a thermocoupler and extension I bought on ebay.

I also could install two gauges in the navigator overhead console where the ac controls go, but like I said I have to many gauges already.

Off the subject again, does the painted dash reflect the sun and give a bad glare? where are you going to insert the intake temp sensor?? I want to do the same thing.

The dash is actually fine during the day but like space invaders at night. You get use to it really quick, it's not bad at all. When you drive past street lights at night you can see the light track up the windshield.

I have a rough idea how the intake temp sensor will work. I will post later when the project is done in like a yr. In the mean time, learn what a Type K Thermocouple Sensor is and buy one on ebay with a long thermocouple extension cable. Don't pay more than $15 for each one. A bought one made by WATLOW.
