Put a Valentine 1 remote display in a black face (clock-delete option).

I ripped mine open and put an extra red oil pressure light and a green alt light in the housing, not pretty, but hey, its a race car....

great idea, a V1 there would be cool!

bell and Overpaid Slacker have gone very creative on that clock replacement. I foreward them this thread.

I agree the V1 idea is great. Then you could hard mount the receiver to a bracket under the visor clip and run the power wire under the windshield seal.

I was going to mount the switches for my hood lights there. Using an aircraft style locking switch.

I have seen someone place a vent there for additional dash cooling. works great for pre SC cars that lack the dash vent.

I like the V 1 idea. I was also thinking cly head temp, one gauge per bank?

[RoninLB]

bell and I used the dual ga mounted on the console. I forgot who did the dual in the clock. You got plenty of options. I'll eventually install 3 fuel psi ga's and maybe a volt meter.

[RoninLB]

oops

[mjshira]

that is cool! thanks Ronnie. As always, you come thru. When are off on your next big trip? Any idea where to get that gauge?

[Porschekid962]

see if noho speedo can make you a custom one. put some pics up of dear old scruffy, we miss her out here. hope all is well.

[RoninLB]

ok.. I just did a search.

mikez in Calif did the single CHT and volt ga. His info is on the 1st site below. The others are good info and some really nice installs from many pelicanheads. You could probably keep finding info by searching

CHT or EGT and RoninLB


Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge

CHT probe placement

Monitoring CHT and EGT

Redundant POS VDO clock died....
