How to install a 2 gauge pod in a 1st Gen Minivan.

Buy a Sunpro Universal guage pod, use the internet to find one, if in Canada, Canadian Tire has them as thats where I bought mine. Grab a spare trim piece so as not to wreck your original. Mark where you want it, grab the heat gun and start heating, took me about 1/2 hour, 6 screws and its magic.

Do you like your EGT gauge upside-down?

Wow, if I had a dollar for everyone that asked that. I have it set so 1600 f is straight up, now when I glance at my guages, if I see the needle at 12 oclock, its time to back off, or becareful,

Does that fit 2 5/8" guages?

[turbovanman²]

If thats the smaller ones, yes, if not, no,

I think the smaller guages are 2 1/16, for what it's worth. Nice install, Simon!

Reading and lookin at your pics, I was betting that would be the first question asked, in the first post after yours.

Ooooold drag racer thing there, my guages look so flarked up in my old tubbed firebird, people would make me nuts 'fixing them for me' Only for me to abort the next run thinking my nitrous pressure is up at 2400 or that the EGTs are either 1900 or 250, both of which we know wouldnt run. But, as you are pulling 2.35 Gs, and hitting almost 150-155 at half track, you aint 'looking' at the guages, you check em real quick, anything but almost straight up, you bail the throttle, or loose another $1200 on slugs, and $900 on valve springs, and pray she stays together.


Man, I got to put the ol 85 Firebird back together, got almost all the parts needed for more 8 sec passes.

Looks pretty good! I have my OMNI pod installed in my van right now, but I may get the kind you got....I like the better coverage!
