Shibby!
I put a vacuum gauge in mine back in November for my roadtrip to MA and back. Can you tell us where you plan on mounting? A pillar pod or are you switching things up?

Ok here goes my first write up and i have been kinda busy so its going to take a while to have all the pics and words added. this will probably not be as wordy as some might think but explained the best way i can.
ok step one go to http://www.glowshiftdirect.com and purchase the 00-05 dodge neon and neon srt three pod kit. (heres the link directly(http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/00-05-do ... ckage.aspx)or you can mix and match from the site)
step two when it comes check everything to make sure it is in good shape because they have a 14 day return policy that is kinda stupid but no way to beat it.
these are the back of the gauges i purchased
volt
oil pressure
vacuum
(the pictures are a bit blurry because i didnt use a flash to take them)
after i checked my gauges the next morning i put them in the pillar and test fitted them in my car
ok the engine bay installation starting with the oil pressure flange that i bought with the kit
from left to right:
LEFT: is the brass fitting that holds the plate onto the stock threads of the filter mount.
CENTER: the 1" flange that was purchased in the glowshift kit.
RIGHT: the pressure sender
the flange came with two plugs that i teflon taped and put in the two holes on the flat side and the sender on the left side whole with teflon
i placed the flange and the sender on the stock filter mount and had the sender pointing to the left side because there was more space that way.
and finally the filter placed back on the motor
in the kit they give you three sender wires all heat wrapped together the green goes to the G post on the sender and i used the brown as a ground which goes on the W post i believe and the blue i just taped up and left it attached to the others.
for the running of the wire i looked up by the filter and zip-tied it to some hoses but not too tightly so the hoses can still function
closest to bottom of car
hose by the EGR
tucked up by the space where the master break cylinder
to send the wires and the vacuum hose into the interior i used the hood latch grommet and pulled them through with a streched out coat hanger.
i attached the ground to the bolt next to the radiator where there was already oem grounds
last but not least the t fitting for the vacuum line i took the elbow off the vacuum assist for the breaks and placed the T in the 45 degree elbow and then got another 45 degree elbow and placed it back on the other end of the T and back to stock location. i put the supplied vacuum line onto the T with the little bras insert and ran it into the car.
ok thats the engine part of it ill write the interior later when i have more pictures from that install up.

Nice pics, can you buy that flange separately? because i have the gauges just no flange for the oil sender to mount. I'm getting ready to do mine so this def helps!

Now you just need a skid plate for the oil filter.

that is not necessary because the filter top is tight inline with the bottom of the oil pan if not a little higher up then the bottom of the pan[/quote]occasional demons wrote:Now you just need a skid plate for the oil filter
