Put on my new(to me) Holley street dominator(single plane, mild porting) with some new tall valve covers and painted air cleaner cover.

Very clean. (Now hurry up and do that ugly master cylinder)

I don't think I've ever seen a gauge cluster like that in the engine compartment. I kinda dig it.

Its an idea i got from an old car guy I met. Put a set of manual gauges in the engine compartment that way you have a way of double checking your electric gauges and it gives you a way to see whats going on while under the hood. I'm yet to meet anyone else who's done it though.... I love it. Makes life easier

I was saving some old gauges I have to do the same thing under the hood. I also have a temp gauge from mOOn that screws into the thermostat housing. My Dad told me about a guy he knew that was a racer....they got sick of running back and forth to see the gauges so they made a whole dash that popped out and could be brought around to the engine compartment.

Hows the new combo run???????

I'm sure others like me are looking and thinking about doing it now.
