I saw a lot of people put gauges in this spot, on the left of the steering wheel in the heating vent, what gauge size is it needed ?

Ide also love to know. Like the vents do anything anyways lol.

 

You own a tape measure, right?

The problem is that i don't have my car at my house now, so i can't measure anything. You don't know what's the size ?

 

I used an Autometer 2 - 5/8" gauge. Pulled out the round vent directional thingy and tried to press in the gauge. At this point it was still too tight so I cut out the 1/4" thick surround and tried again.

Now the gauge was slightly too loose. The easy solution... I took the cardboard surround that sits around the back of the gauge while it's in the box and put it back on. It's now in there really snug, although I can still get it out without any real effort. It's never come loose from any of the spirited driving I've thrown at it.


What gauge are you getting?

 

Or you could put a gauge where the clock goes. Fits almost perfect, had to grind a tiny bit off the console, then I hot-glued the gauge to the console from the back. Putting the gauge there you've already got power lines run to the gauge for the backlight

 

He has an 83. You have and 84/85. It's a different
dash.

 

I'll take the cheaper autometer one, vaccum/boost
