Vintage SW oil and temp gages in mine.

Where they were back in the day.

Ive seen gages in the CONSOLE before. More than once Ive seen someone who thought it was good idea to saw a hole in the top of their console and put gages in it.

Those two photos couldn't be the same car ----- or are they??
My only choices would be the non-Olds gauges under the dash or the rally pac addition.
Real gauges are a must, but cutting on a rare dash would be a 'sin'...
I added the rally pac in my car. Not cheap, but it looks like belongs there and I can keep track of the engine's health. A volt meter would have been nice though - I might add a small LCD one in the ashtray...

@TK: new one looks really great, congratulations !
but SW does not supply metric gauges, so even they look very good, i cannot use them.
i am more into that "remove the rear-defroster switch" thing and put them gauges, where nearly everybody else does... maybe some day, if i get rich and careless, i will cut the dash, but not now.
Happy New Year !

Yes they are! Zip on over to www.ultra-high-compression.com & you'll see a complete documentation of the project AND....

BTW: My post car (see Avatar) also has the gauges under the dash. For me, the only place. As has been said, period correct & easy to go back pure stock.
@ Alex: Not sure, but there are others who make similar gauge clusters for under the dash, just not sure if any make metric. On the other hand, all the data & other readings are US, so what's the big deal about using SAE? It'd actually be nore correct!
