AutoMeter Gauges in '68 Camaro Gauge Pod
Does anyone know if you have to do any surgery on the stock gauge pod in order to install the 5" Autometer speedometer and tach in a '68 Camaro?

I just installed the 5 inch tach and speedo into my dash. They fit pretty good as is. But I unfortunately have an older style bezel on the speedo and a new "super" bezel on the tach. The speedo fits much better than the new style does. There is a small gap at the bottom but you will not see it once installed. Good luck

I had to roll the lip of the gauge retainer in order to drop the gauges in. THat with some #4 sheet metal screws (to grip the plastic) and some 1/4" aluminum spacers from Home Depot got 'er done.

My 5'' Ultra-Lites just dropped right in from what I can remember.

Actually, I think you 69 boys have the best looking dash layouts. the aftermarket dashes with AutoMter gauges IMO are AWESOME! I've got a friend of mine whose got his '69 stashed in my shop right now, and I'm trying to convince him to put the aftermarket dash panel and gauges in it.
