Autometer pod/ with Ford gauges? HELP
Does anyone have the Ford Racing brand gauges installed in an autometer pillar pod? I like the looks of them but dont know if they fit the pod or if they make a Trans Temp and a Boost gauge

Yes, I have that same setup. The don't make a trans temp gauge, but do make a water temp guage. The water temp gauge will work, it just says water temp and not trans temp on the face.

Hope that helps.

I got this one from www.KennyBrown.com here in Indy.


They now have a 2.5(?) for $30.00 in the garage sale part, page 6.

Yes the one I got was made by Autometer.

Auto Meter will silkscreen anything you want on the gauge faces if you are willing to place a large order.

what color do they light up at night? Do they match the stock gauges color better than those lunar gauges?

I have the green bulb caps, so they glow green. The Lunars match better at night though! They are the best match, since they are also electroluminescence lighting, just like our clusters.

Take a blue Sharpie and make an "x" pattern on the end and down the sides of the bulb, they will match the dash lights better.

I really like the cobalt ones but the blue doesnt match anything and they cost way too much for what they are.
