On the 98-02 T/As a 2-5/8" gauge fit perfectly, don't know for sure if it is the same for earlier cars.

The 2 5/8 is a perfect fit but also has very limited selection of guages.


You can also get the adaptor rings from Speed Inc. like I did and put the 2 1/16 guages in the vents.

I think mine look great.

From all my looking, I have yet to find an A/F gauge (by any company) that's 2 5/8.

You need to get the phantom series then. The ones you posted are ultra-lites. I went to autometer's site and they only make this gauge in a 2 1/16"



My uncle has ultra-lites in is Nova and they are actually a light silver color
