Autometer Cobalt Series Gauges arrived today

I looked at the directions on how to install them and they are way too advanced for my dumba$$. I don't wanna screw em up.

How much would it cost to get the (Air/Fuel, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Pressure) gauges installed in my Triple Gauge pillar?

It isn't all that hard.... It sounds a little more intimidating than it really is... read my DIY for the oil pressure... all you're really doing is extending the oil pressure line and running a wire through the firewall. The DIY also tells you where to find all the power sources you're gonna need for any gauges. The A/F ratio is pretty easy. Find the white wire from the O2 sensor, follow it back from the header a little ways and tap it some where where it's away from the engine. As for the fuel pressure... I don't know about that one. If you need help with the other 2, PM me, I can explain some more if you want. You do not have to make any holes anywhere to run the wires or fasten senders.... it's just moving somethings around.

I got the gauges from a special source on this forum. I don't know if he wants his named revealed since everyone flamed him about a certain VAFC fixed post. Since I was the only person who showed him any kind of repsect he got all of them for me at cost which totalled $300 instead of the $450 retail for all of them.

I would get them professionally installed by an import shop. If you're not comfortable with the wiring, it's better not to mess up. Custom concepts said they would do it for about $100 or more. It's a few hours of install at $40 an hour.

Hey Flyrace this isnt regarding the gauges but the pods. You ordered them off of ebay. I ordered them off the link you gave in the forum about triple pod pics. Its the same place masterminds. Im just wondering if they sent you an email with the trackng numberor anything like that or did they just show up. And how long did you wait before you got them. Thanks
