Those gauges look really good Chris.
There is a guy in the '73-'79 forum who is developing the same set up for the old Ford's.

I guess if he is good with fiberglass or something similar he could make up a pretty nice pod. I think the pod with my gauges just fits over my pillar. I want to get a 4 pod shortly because I want to add a fuel pressure gauge as well.

I remember the days where you got the tin bracket that was either chrome or black and you usually had all kinds of wires hanging under the dash.

Ya I see them at the local parts store. I think you were pretty cool if you had the chrome one that held 3 gauges.

Lots of wires hanging and about a dozen holes in the firewall.

Another kind of chilly one yesterday. Spent some time in the parking lot after work trying to get a fellow Ford driver started. Block heater or power cord were furbar. Didn't get him running. Found a good cord and he should have been going in and hour or so.

Off to Penticton sometime today.
