And while you are wiring it up, are you sure that the fuel gauge is what you need to see most often, and not, for example, oil pressure?
Thanks! Gauges are from Speedhut.com I have used them on a few builds now, and I usually get the gauges that have warning lights on everything. Decided to save a little $ on this order and get ones without the warning lights (other than the voltage) and the tach without the shift lights.
At this point I am used to glancing to the right to check the vitals
Nice work. Really like how you placed the double din radio. I tried something like your speedo/tach set up but couldn't figure how to get the plastic lense to work over the gauges. I thought I needed that lense to trim out the gauge pod. My Autometer housings stuck out too far. Ended up getting Dakota Digital instead but I like what you did. Good job.
Man, that is slick!! I like it a lot. I too would have put oil pressure where the gas gauge is, but it's not my car, so my opinion doesn't matter! You do you, and keep.up the good work!
Just FYI. On my gauge swaps I just used the cheap LED lights for turn and high beams. Also for the check engine light for the LS swap. Pic of my 73 Camaro.

Looks good. These are built to order gauges, I paid the extra on these to have the lights incorporated into the Speedometer so that I didn't have to add them. It was only $30 more to add and since I was putting the fuel gauge in the center where I would normally put the LEDs, it worked out well with my layout
I like that dash in yours. This 73 has an autometer fake carbon fiber insert that I am not a huge fan of.

OK, I might be in the "mentally Challenged" group, But I really like that Pinto.

You and me both. It for sure is the fastest one in the photo. Its probably the worlds most expensive Pinto, lol
Its got a new 302, aluminum heads, roller cam, roller rockers, Edelbrock sequential multiport EFI, backed by a 5 speed with hydraulic throwout bearing clutch.
In the back is an 8" with a quick performance 3rd member in it. Disc brakes all the way around. It too has Speedhut gauges, wilwood pedals and master cylinders, etc...
It's come a long way since I've got it. I've got too many projects.
I did something similar using Autometer gauges and a Pioneer Double Din. Also added a backup camera to the mix. Center stack has oil pressure, coolant temp, and Volts. The fuel gauge was relocated between the speed and tach. Stock plastic lens cover fits over the Autometer speedo and tach gauges.
