I run a 3-gauge pillar pod in mine (see pic in sig). I run the ISSPRO EV series boost and pyro and also a "Black Ice" (otherwise known as an outside temperature) gauge. Since I also have the Explorer Overhead console, I no longer need the temp gauge, so someday I'll put in a Tranny Temp gauge on the 5-speed. I have a Fabcraft Metalworks PTO Billet sidecover that has the sending unit port in it, so mounting the sender won't be an issue. Cheers!

I have the fuel pressure as my third gauge and it is utterly useless. I got the mechanical gauge with isolator and have even added a snubber. It was good for awhile but over a week the needle flutter is tremendous and makes it illegible. I do not know if an electric gauge will work with our mechanical pumps but if it will, use it if you want fuel pressure. I am going to swap mine out for a water temp soon.

My dash pod has pyro, tranny & boost gauges (Isspro EV Series Electrical)
My pillar pod has water and SVO temp gauges (Stewart Warner Mechanical)

The least used gauge is the boost. Most important to me are the water and SVO gauges.
