A- Pillar gauges.

[DOOM]

Guys I'm thinking about going with an A- pillar gauge pod.

Can everyone here running them please post up pics of your A- pillar gauge pods and what gauges you're using?

Right now I'm currently running autometer Ultra-Lite II's and have BOOST and trans temp!

Also! We all know how expensive gauges can be!

Who has the CHEAPEST PRICE FOR AUTOMETER GAUGES?

Ignore the screw cover missing. I lost it. :(

I bought the Autometer gauges to look OEM.

I'll snap a pic for you when I get home, but mine is a dual with Autometer boost and AFR. I also mounted my Bluetooth and line lock in the available space above the top gauge.

Currently running two analog gauges and one Aeroforce.

Top: Fuel Pressure

Middle - Areoforce: IAT and Engine Temp (will set to scan mode when I get wideband sensor installed)

Bottom: Boost

I have a custom leather wrapped 3 gauge pod pillar, currently I have a boost gauge on the bottom, a fuel pressure in the middle and a dummy boost gauge on the top. The next parts I buy will be aeroforce interceptor gauges and I'll replace the fuel pressure gauge and the dummy gauge with them. I'll take pictures when I get home, it probably won't be until tomorrow though.

Where's the best place to buy gauges for CHEAP???

Amazon and ebay, if something requires a sender unit just have to make sure the gauge is being sold with it.

Also the gauge TYPE and STYLE play a factor in the pricing.

What are you looking for?

[Joe Walsh]

I've got Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature in my 'A' pillar gauge set-up.
Also have the triple gauge 'A' pillar waiting for whenever (if ever) I get blown...:D

Here is the sweet one piece three gauge pod that Rex and I have. Color matches and all. Well worth the money for a seamless look.

Summit and Jegs are good places to check for Autometer. They're prices are competitive if you want new.

[Mr. Man]

For you taller guys do you hit your heads on the pods getting in and out of the car?

What would be ideal gauges to use for and N/A car? Trans temp, what else is useful?

Getting out is usually easy but I always hit my head on the top of the door/roof area. I guess in my older age I'm not as bendy as you youngins' :rolleyes:

[WhatsUpDOHC]

What would be ideal gauges to use for and N/A car? Trans temp, what else is useful?
True oil pressure.

[Joe Walsh]

Nope, but I've creased my skull so many times that I've made it a habit of ducking a little extra whenever I get in and out of cars.

True oil pressure.

Yep,
- Transmission Temperature....you want to know if you are cooking the transmission hauling azz up a long hill out of overdrive.
- Real Oil Pressure....you will be alarmed at how low the oil pressure gets while idling at a traffic light on a hot summer day.
- Oil Temperature....you would be amazed at how long it takes for the engine's oil to warm up after a cold winter night.

Is a volt gauge considered useful or not really needed?

[Joe Walsh]

OK...OK....so I like to know what's going on with my engine....:o

BTW: Those gauges do scare the heck out of the Ricers at traffic lights.
They must assume that I have 9000 HP.
They won't even try to run me....heh heh heh

That's why I was suggesting he get something that requires you to monitor boost....:D

Hey Joe, I've been looking for a column pod. Where did you get yours? Thnx!

[WhatsUpDOHC]

Hey Joe, I've been looking for a column pod. Where did you get yours? Thnx!
I was thinking that it would be sharp to get two gauges on the column at 11 and 1 o'clock(or 10 and 2, however you call it).

[Joe Walsh]

IIRC, That was an Autometer gauge pod for a Ford F250 truck.
It fits our steering column like a glove! (The pod's 'shell' covers the top half of the steering column.)
I think that the newer Autometer gauge pods mount the gauge on the right side of the column.
I have a coolant temperature gauge mounted in the pod with a sensor under the intake manifold/in the block.
The OEM water temperature gauge still works too.

[IwantmyMMnow!]

OK...OK....so I like to know what's going on with my engine....:o



I agree 100%....am going to get rid of stock gauges soon for 'real ones'; bought them a while ago, but am waiting to see if FBM can change the white light to blue.

I also would like to know what the temps are on tranny and coolant. I want actual numbers, not some needle that says its halfway between 'C' and a line...

I saw the one Takedown has at MVX which a member custom made from an actual MM colum cover. You could not tell it wasn't stock, beautiful work! :bows:

Unfortunately the guy in not on the site any more. :shake:

I'll try looking up the F250 pod.

Thanks for the info!

[WhatsUpDOHC]

I'd like to see it
I know. In (spirited) driving, I'm more focused forward than to the side. Even low on the column, I may be able to reference column-based gauges more easily. Just me.
Kinda like a "Pony" Mustang gauge setup.

[screamn]

Hey Joe, I've been looking for a column pod. Where did you get yours? Thnx!

I know they are not a vender here but you can try and contact this comapany.

They have a column gauge pod for floor shifters only.

Good luck.

Actually the pic shows column shift but the description states "
Note: Fits Floor Shift Automatic Models Only"

Awesome find! Thanks. I'll be ordering one.

You probably already know.....but just confirm that it is for "floor shift" before you order!

Glad to be of assistance. Happy Holidays :D

"Tech Notes: Originally designed for the F250 and has a small hole in the passenger side"

Always wanted to know how we could get a HUD.

They are 2 1/16. Boost is mech ,water an oil temp electric.
Autometer sport comp black faced


If interested shoot me a pm and I will see if I can locate them

[NATEHAWK]

Jake just come look at mine if you wanna see. Remember I have a 3 gauge A pillar pod setup. Had pics but they are on my computer somewhere.

Here's a bad pic (Merc's in storage or I'd take a better one) of the a-pillar.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/541524_3326693739081_249577076 _n.jpg

It contains the boost gauge and a/f gauge and is painted to match the interior.

The triple center console pod has the trans temp, oil pressure, and volt gauges.

The pod looks like its a DENIM BLUE! :dunno:
Or is it just the lighting? :confused:

Never seen a 2 gauge A-pillar pod before.

It looks like 1 gauge has a BLACK ring and the other one looks silver.

It's the lighting in the quality cell phone pic. You'll see it in person at the upcoming Kentucky meet.

Auto meter sells single and dual a-pillar gauges.

The black ring is a part of the A/F gauge and software package. I'd have to paint it to match but it's not a priority.
