My Triple Pillar install

Here are my pics and info on the Autometer 17303 triple pillar with Z Series Pyro and boost and soon to come Z Series Trans Temp. Friggin trans temp is seriously late showing up. Couldnt wait anymore with the stinkin wires running everywhere. So here it is. i had the guys at the auto parts store match the little securing pins so i can re attach it when the trans temp comes

Looking good wreck, I think I'm starting to notice a trend here. I put a turbo on, you put a turbo on, I put a gauge pillar in, you put a gauge pillar in, JKJK,

BTW: you ever check out glow shift gauges?

Yeah, those z series gauges look great. The color difference of the white and green was eating away at me though.

its just a quick glance and i can see the gauges. Very easy on the eyes and the green which i chose, looks awesome at night. the way they illuminate is friggin awesome, it all shines around and lights up the needle to make it look 3D or something. Very well thought out.

Same set i got. They are well lit and easy to read. Yours look good I couldnt find a pillar for my 84 though. They hang under the dash so far they work good. I think theres something wrong with the trans temp guage it always starts reading high when i push the boost pedal!

fellas the ride in to work was great, i can check the pillars with ease. If anyone needs the triple pillar part number and want a good one guaranteed to fit very well, its the autometer 17303 i mentioned above in the first post. There are plenty of others and i am sure they fit but just so ya know.
