Will do LSP, its been raining pretty heavy and shes all dirty. I need to move my 83 over to the other shop and put the SRT in the race shop so I can clean it up next.

I finally got my Mopar short throw, Bogger bushings, gauge pod and gauges in. Im too busy to install them this week so they should be in by next week. I think my total was 350 bucks for it all.

Ill probably have to ask yall where to run all the sending units for my gauges when I get ready to install them. I have water temp, oil pressure and voltage. All Autometer Pro Comp Ultra Lites so it matches my boost gauge.

Pics of the pod in the car with an old gauge in it:

Sweet! I ran the oil pressure to the plug in the side of the head. It fits PERFECTLY with no issue whatsoever. Here's a shot of where to install that sending unit:

To me pressure in the head was way more important than pressure in the pan. Lose pressure in the head you have serious issues.

Thanks LSP! The car had a sending unit run somewehere down there from the previous owners but they removed the gauges before I got it. If what they had isnt what I wanna use Ill do what you did. How do you do a water temp one? Where would I put the sending unit?

Not sure on the water temp, I never bothered buying one since I always figured I have a gauge on the dash that tells me (and the scangauge gets more particular if I need). But rather than drilling into the block you could always "T" into the coolant feed line for the turbo for the sending unit. Personally I would get rid of the water temp, since you have one already, and get something more detrimental to turbo life....an EGT gauge.

I would have but my temp gauge factory isnt the most reliable so I opted for that. Plus it was a god awful high price for an EGT gauge. Didnt figure I needed one if its gonna stay stock performance wise. Ill call my mechanic buddy and see what he thinks though.
