Default Engine temp gauge.

What're all you guys running for aftermarket engine temp gauges? I know the F body engine temp gauges from factory are often inaccurate. Thinking of a 2&1/16 or 2&1/8 pillar pod setup. Who's got the best setup, and the most accurate, and the easiest to install? Anyone? Thanks. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have Autometer Sport Comp guages (2 5/8) in the 3 center vents on my t/a. I realize thats not going to work for your SS, so I would do a pod. That will be the easiest way to go. Check out this link:http://xse.com/leres/ss/gaugepod.html

Hope this helps! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've never met anyone who didn't run auto meter guages. They're very good quality units, easy to install, and they have a ton of different sytles so you're sure to find something that matches your current guages and the style you're looking for. I have a pillar pod, and I think they look really cool, plus they're right in the corner of you're eye so visibility is great. As long as you don't mind drilling some holes in your a-pillar.
