1- Thanks to all who helped with A pillar gauge mount advice. I'm all set thanks to your help.
Im going to go with boost, water temp and oil pressure.
2- New question --- what gauge brand / series did you select?
Thank you

I typically run Autometer gauges, I prefer the electric ones so you don't have to run that copper or plastic line
Equus gauges seem to work well and they're cheap

I also recommend the Autometer gauges, classic look for our cars. I originally had gauges in the A pillar but then switched to the cleaner looking center panel area. here's how I did mine and the gauges I used, https://turbotbird.com/showthread.php?ti...ght=gauges

I'm going with Autometer GS series because I think it looks the closest to the stock gauges and I wanted to run an analog air/fuel gauge. The GS series was the only one close to the stock gauges with that specific gauge. The Z series looks similar to the stock gauges as well.

Hi
I looked at GS and liked them but felt that the chrome was too much for my planned A pillar mounting. I went with the Z series.
Did you mount yours on the A pillar or some other way?

I'm going to mount them on the A pillar and I plan to paint the bezel black because I don't want the silver there either.
