The dash has turn signal and high beam indicators built in.
So, does the compressor line up with Vette, Camaro, or Truck accessories?

Compressor lines up with the truck accys. He cut the top of the truck alternator bracket off and built his own so that it lowers the alternator. He reused the bottom portion to hold the power steering pump.

That cutlass looks really clean, even the framerails don`t have rust.

I noticed the Intelletronics gauges and am curious to know when you purchased these. Have you viewed them in direct sunlight conditions yet? I have an older set made by Nordskog and found I cant see them at all during certain conditions. I have talked with the people from Intelletronics and they said that they now use better LEDs. I am hoping to upgrade but need your imput before I spend again. Thanks

I had the car tuned on the dyno yesterday at Straightline Performance in New Lenox. The wheels hopped on the dyno and caused the spike in this run.

The gauges are easy to read in the sunlight.
