Default gauge pod options?

I am getting trans temp, and A/F gauges for my LTZ. I hate my stock fuel gauge so i was also going to get a new fuel gauge while im at it for my 94Z. Summit only sells dual pod for a 94Z, so i wanted to put the fuel gauge on a steering cloumn mount, it seems like the most logical place. Do they make a tripple pod for 94LT or a steering column pod? Searched cant find anything. Thanks

I would not EVER install a Fuel pressure gauge inside the car unless it was an electrical gauge. And as for a AR gauge get a wide band or don't waste the money.

this is the radio delete panel i just made. Ill have a E- fuel pressure gauge and a/f in it and it will be painted.
Edit: i dislike A pillar gauges. Just has a rice to it that i dont like. Thats just a personal opinion.

That is a triple pod for a t-top car only, anybody use it for a hardtop car? Did it work? Are there any pillar pods for a hardtop car...i don't see where the difference would be?

The pillar pods for hardtop camaros are only 2 pods. Some people have mad the 3 pod work but it's not perfect.

I'm going to switch to a 97+ dash for mine (uses the 3 pod)

You can do the Pillar, HVAC or CD/Cassette area for locations.

The 1LE or more so custome CD area is easy to do and gives you a bunch of room. I had a dual pod with my trick V gauge and dynotune fuel pressure in my car. Considering the trick had a .5v input for W/B, thats all I needed.

I have seen people put guages in the three vents above the stereo, i thought about doing it but it is a lot of work.

Ok thanks for the input guys. The car is a t-top so should i be able to do a 3 pillar pod? If not, im going to do a dual pillar pod with trans temp and wideband. It seems they dont make a steering column pod for these, anyone know for sure? Id really like to put the fuel gauge right behind steering wheel.
