Guys I've been reading the previous posts and the other data on gauges, and I'm comfortable that I want three gauges and the tach. However I really want all of them in one 2 1/16" gauge pod. I want black faces, white markings and orange/red indicators, INCLUDING the tach. Is this available? If not what's the closest match? I have a 93 with the tach plug as well.



Please help the exasperated.

I can't believe there are that many different gauges styles out there!

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of people that sell the 4 gauge dash pod. I can't remember who it is right now but i'm sure they do.

So I'm told from my supplyer, (btw the perfect match to your decription) the ISSPRO 8503 is NLA. Sorry for the bad news. I do believe, though I have not installed any, ISSPRO does have the black face with an orange needle in some applications. Call your gauge supplyer such as PDR to find out. I do know that not all vendors sell *** the gauge brands so you'll have to do some checking. Possibly check out the autometer web-site as well as the ISSPRO etc.



Come to think of it, I have performed some engine work on a truck that had auto meter gauges and they looked something like you decribed, however the tach was different.

Yep isspro will have what you need. Get ready to spend some money, three gauges and a tach aren't cheap. I suggest buying the 60psi boost, pyro and the third gauge, transmission I imagine, from one of the TDR vendors, Scheids, PDR etc, as they stock those and sell them bottom dollar. When you have them special order a gauge that they don't carry, thats when you get bent over, might as well call the gauge manufacturer, JMO.



For the 4 gauge dash mount the only one I know of is www.usgear.com. You have to call them and tell them what you want. Again, have the credit card ready :{ as it ain't cheap.

I was looking at tach, boost(why 60psi?), Pyro, and maybe fuel pressure. I have the five speed.

How much are they? I know the pyro and tach are around 125, the other two aren't that bad are they?

Because if you start bombing your truck, you'll run out of gauge in a hurry. Even if you are only planning on say 30 psi or so, gauges are most accurate in the middle of their range. So there you go, my . 05 (gonna be outa town the next few days so I thought I'd give a bit more :-laf , make it last)

No idea on the 2 1/16" tach price a good $100 I bet. Boost isspro ev series 40 at least psi $40, pryo $125, make sure you get the lead wire and thermocouple with it for that price, Genos and PDR sell it complete for that price, some vendors will sell only the gauge for that price and want more $$ for the lead wire and thermocouple. Fuel pressure gauge only $50. Boost tubing kit for FP $10. Banjos for FP $5~. Or if electric FP gauge $70. 4 gauge dash mount $60+-. Its only money.

Wow, that's like almost $250. 00 :-laf

I just won't tell the bride. :-{}

Finally was able to contact Isspro about the R8503 tach. and was informed it is still available for sale. I think that is the best match for your requirements.
 
Here's my setup with the Autometer Z-series. I also painted the factory needles to freshen them up and to match the new gauges. The color matches much better than the photo lighting makes it look. Check my personal website for more info on painting.

You shouldn't run your truck a 3grand without oil pressure! :D That's a cockpit for sure. I like that setup alot, but I really, really want a small tach.
