yeah it is an A pillar 3 gauge pod........i currently have a glowshift A/F ratio (even though plp say it's worthless) and Oil Pressure gauges....
not sure what to get as a third....
but, just wondering Ideas on mounting and wiring (and hiding the wires to make it look decent enough)
pics would be great.

I drilled a hole in my A-piller and ran the wires thro there and ussed two black screws to hold in on there securly. Looks pretty good IMO. I thought the taped methode would just fall off so I did it my way. I then ran the wires behind the A-piller behind the dash and made my connections where apropiate.

My AutoMeter pod came with mounting hardware. It came with six plastic tab type things. You drill holes through the pod and pillar trim then push the tab through and it holds them together, they also sit flush so it looks nice.
I took my pillar trim off, drilled holes behind each gauge, then fed the wires through. Then I ran the wires down along the side of my dash, hooked the appropriate wires into the fuse box, and ran the rest through the firewall into the engine bay.
Pretty easy job, just takes a while if you take your time and make it look professional. I'm **** about wiring so it all has to be soldered, shrink wrapped, and zip tied away. Hackjob wiring jobs bug me.
Good luck!
