Had to have a cool boost gauge and that new Air/Fuel Ratio gauge, I bought 2 gauge pods a 2 1/16 (a/f gauge) and a 2 5/8 (because the 20 psi boost gauge only came in 2 5/8) we will see how they fit together (one 2 1/16 and the other 2 5/8).
While there I also had to get some superwhite head and fog light bulbs.
Call me Mr. Impulse buy...

 

hey Silverbullet,

What kind of gauges did you order? That boost gauge only in 2 5/8? sounds fishy!
did you ever get a chance to look up the pin location for the high side hego sensor?

Autometer, the 2 1/16" goes to 30 psi, the 2 5/8 goes to 20 psi. I call Autometer, because I thought that was stupid, but they said, yep thats the way it is. http://www.autometer.com/hp/index.html

This is the guage I got (the first one):

If you want Ford has a set of gauges that are both 2 1/16 and 2 5/8 they are white faced the 2and 1/16 0 to 30+ and 0to30- the 2 and 5/8 only goes to 20 both directions they say Ford Racing and that gauge it is like boost or water or oil. Priced close to Autometer. Tech Line 1-810-468-1356

I believe they are autometer gauges.
same thing, I wanted the 20 psi boost gauge...Like I need a boost gauge that goes over 12 even, the boost gauge that goes to 30 is a waste of resolution....

 

4rts2nv, I have a service manual and I can copy the pages you will need and send them to you. I'm pretty sure I know which ones to splice, but I would feel better giveing you the diagrams and recommending the splice, then telling you and possibly something not good happening...

SilverBullet,

The boost gauge that I have is an Autometer Pro-comp Ultralite.
The Phantom series is the only one that doesn't offer the 30 in.hg/20 psi gauge in the 2 1/16 size

Yep, right on.
I wanted the white faces.
I did want a big boost gauge too.

 

Well, here they are, I wasn't thinking...

I will need to buy a 1999 Pillar cover, as the handle causes big holes, and you can see the pillar and the rivet nuts for the handle.
(Meaning if you intend to put a hand on a 99, you should pull you cover and see if there are brass rivet nuts under it)
One more started project with no completion date.

BTW: Autometer Pod quality is marginal at best: lots of mold flash, guage hole had to be sanded to put the gauges in, the fit is not quite right, the texture is different on the two different pieces.
---------------------------------------
If enough are intrested, these guys will build a twin or tri gauge pillar replacement:

Sorry this is for a GN, but it is a full pillar replacement. Click on the pic, for the link.
Just send them an email, I've seen these on GN's, Typhoons, and Impalas. Awesome.

IF THE FULL REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE IN A 2 OR 3 POD FOR OUR TRUCKS I'LL BE FIRST TO TRY.

Mine is a bit more complicated.
As I have the A/F gauge, that I'm going add a switch to so I can monitor both banks.

 

Guys!
Lotek Engineering http://www.mindspring.com/~lotek/ is in the process of building a two gage pod A-pilar cover for the 1997 to current F150's (Lightnings too). If you are interested send them e-mail or give them a call. I did.

Looks promising!....I sent my email....Thanks

 

The picture (with link) I had was a Lotek.
Prob, should have made that more clear, thanks BABolt.
