Are there any gauges I can swap for my clock?
 
I'm wondering if there are any gauges I can install that might be more useful than my defunct clock? I'd like a 12 V/charging gauge if possible. Are there any that kind of look period correct?

Cylinder head temp and exhaust gas temperature.

And get a big shift light in there while you're at it.

I really like this although I'd replace "mixture" with "mischung" ;) (Or 'verhältnis"?)

Is that better for a turbo?

That is perfect! Is that a Pelican user or a company?

I've just realized I have an old school speedo place a block away from my house. I might stop over and see what they have for a solution. Will keep you posted.

I removed my clock. I bought another broken clock, removed the guts, cut a hole in the center of the clock face, installed a support and a shift light. Perfection. I'll get you guys a picture. It's awesome.

Keep in mind, the far left gauge (fuel level) is the same size as the far right, and those can easily have the gauge circuit removed from the can for ease of modification.

I like the additional cooling mod with the Ford F-150 vent

Not a gauge, but my track car came with this big honkin' oil pressure light in place of the clock - in case you want that vintage track look.

Wideband O2, there's a thread today about gauges from AEM and others.

I was just at Foreign Speedo today. A friend had them restore and modify some gauges for his V8 Cortina. They do nice work. Stop by, It's kind of a trip...
