I was wondering since it was such a bitch to install my RPM Tach, how hard will it be 2 install 2 gauges in an A-Pillar setup, and mabye if anyone has instructions on how to do it myself or if i should get it done prefessionally. thanx

Depending on your avaliabilty of tools to work with and your knowledge or wiring in a car and using a soldering iron it can be done pretty fast. From start to a professional looking finish mine took me 4 hrs. I have to tap the ignition wires and put in the tach adaptor. The tap the O2 sensor wire and etc. etc....

The outcome is worth the wait.

I installed my volts and Air Fual gauges myself and it took like 15 min.

uhh follow the directions that come with the gauges. For the AF ratio, just find the bungie that comes from the O2 sensor in the header, follow it till it comes together, right off the main wiring harness. There is a purple wire, you want to tap that wire for the AF ratio.

For the rest of the wiring, well if you dont know how to wire a basic light, dont bother attempting this.

I don't know where the pic went that i threw up here, but directions are straight forward. Only problem i encountered was picking up a power source that was ignition related. I solved this by going to Autozone and picken up an Atofuse. It gives you a power source out of the fuse box and still allows you to use your fuse. I can get pics of that if need be. Other wise take a whole day to do this if need be.
