Hey guys..

I'm getting a couple gauges from a friend and a CA 2 gauge pillar pod from a local CSSNET member. I have a few questions though..

1. Are most gauges the same size? Will most fit into my pillar pod? If they're a tad skinny you can buy sleeves can't you?

2. I'm a gauge n00b. Do you need to brace them at all, or will the pod hold them perfectly sufficiently?

3. Are most gauges pretty easy to wire yourself? I can do stereos and stuff, but I've never done any other wiring..

4. The stock gauge pillar is released by removing the top little cover, unscrewing (or whatever) the bolt inside, then you just slip it out from the bottom, correct? The installation would then be just the reverse..

5. what's the best way to route gauge wiring from the engine bay into the a-pillar? How's the stock boost gauge done? I don't have any gauges, so this'll be new. I'm a sucker for wire tucking. I just don't want anything exposed if at all possible.

Thanks alot, guys..

 

yes its easy, if its too small wrap it in some electrical tape til it fits snug..they come thru the firewall in the spot that gm was nice enough to put there for u

 

Word. So with a flashlight I can locate this hole? Any approximate area to look specifically?

 

um just above the brake pedal if i recall right..u'll see it..bunch of wires coming thru but u gotta take the rubber plug off

 

Noice. Is there any type of how-to for gauges online? Cobalt specific if possible.. lol. I know I saw one for an a/f ratio..

 

theres one for interceptors too...i dunno man i work on this **** for a living so i dont really go to the how to's

 

haha The rest of us need how-to's.

I'm sure after you do one it's real easy..

 

lol yea i guess..the navy paid to send me to school to do stuff like this

 

Damn. Not a bad gig at all. I can do work to them, but I never got into electrical more than stereos..
