I am trying to figure out which gauges to get formy lsx swap. I have looked at autometer, Stewart Warner, and glow shift. They are all about the same price I just don't know about the quality.

Heres the 68 series installed in a 67-68 Camaro bezel. Period look with a bit of modern, just like the Pro-Touring themeed vehicles.

Mark,
I actually just came across yours and am very interested in your gauges and indicator lights. My friend is also interested, would you give us a deal on two sets?

Cant give any deals, or discounts, but one of our 50 Nationwide dealers may be able to.
If we discounted items our distributors would not be very happy.
Try Summit, Jegs or Motor State, they have some good prices on our products

Badass! Is that an electronic tach or mechanical? I need something in my 68 that will work with an LS1 ecm.

Todd,

The 3-1s are full electronic stepper motor gauges, 2 microporcessors in each gauge!

I only have one pic of the back. It was A LOT of work! I wanted to use the original Camaro gauge carrier, so I had to disassemble the gauges & glue them in from the back with the aluminum bezel glued in front.

Hey Mark, would you be able to swap the red background lighting for blue? If so, how much would that add to your kit price for the '68 series?
Thanks,
TC

So does the temp sending unit fit in an LSX head?

I second the blue idea. I'll give you a credit card number right now if you can do it in blue.

Hi Guys,
As far as dials go, we can do anything you want, any color, any graphics, a color change is around $145, less if we are actually running the dials as it takes ablut an hour and a half to set up the job.
The temp sender would require a M12x1.5 bushing, which we are in the process of making right now, along with the M16 for the pressure, these are some out there on the market righ now though

Mark,
How about the REDLINE series? Will your six gauge kit fit the '68 Camaro dash carrier? (I'm not sure the size of the original tach and speedo). If so, then what about a blue light background?

The standard redlines are 3-3/8 and 2-1/16" but we can build the larger gauges on a custom basis, which would fit the 67-8 dash with our mounting bracket. Again, colors, graphics, we can do anything you want.
How much $$$ depends on how many colors/material, etc.
