Need to get some real gauges in my car, want to get an oil pressure and water temp gauge in somewhere jsut not sure where and in what configuration, want to stick with autometer gauges. I already have a tach that sits on my console so would like to see what you guys have done for gauges.

If I didnt have a rallye dash I'd be all over that, but need to find a place to moutn the water temp and oil pressure. And somehtign cool to put them in rather then an under dash panal

I removed the ashtray from the dash and bolted in a Autometer panel. Fits great.

I still need my heater controls for cool nites in late summer early spring. I like the ashtray idea, I was looking at the race panels from Autometer, they look cool jsut at a loss for space. I'll have to check clearence in the ashtray with my console and tach sitting on it.

Check summit racing, I thought I saw an add in a mopar mag for A-pillar mounting of gauges.

I run old school gauges on the 70 Duster, I mounted the Sun Super
Tach III, to a Phantom housing, under the dash to rite of column.
It looks fine & is tight, as for the series 1 auto meter oil pressure
gauge I fabbed another bracket to the tach bracket, pretty
clean install & it did'nt cost nothing :thumrigh:
