CKZ03 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 May be an option for others to use here as well. I needed to add a trans temp sensor as some extra insurance to monitor my pricey transmission investment, but where to put it??? I didnt want to drill any holes in my new dash or have just a single gauge mounted in an odd position somewhere so the plug & chug seemed like a possibility for something like this. I have it wired to a 4 prong quick disconnect just inside the ashtray so I can simply pull the whole thing out, shut the ashtray door and its like they where both never there. Most likely pulling it out at shows & stuff where they both look a little out of place on these cars. You could easily mount a triple gauge set to the front underside as well. I just preferred this one to be on the left side pointing up a bit for easy viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 is that a Chevelle? I don't see any woodgrain on the dash nice clean install, I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think it looks nice Cory, thinking outside the box! By the way, how well does that holder work! Looking for something to hold a bottle of water decently on long rides. Not like I'm going to stick a cup of coffee in it with my color interior!

502ci Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Cool set-up. I take it you do not smoke in the Monte? Oh, and to free up some horsepower take the floor mat out from under your gas pedal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droff Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dude... I searched Plug and Chug to find one of those cup holders. You all need to review this phrase in the "Urban Dictionary". While not at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKZ03 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Definetly not the same as the urban dictionary description! Tony I only have a few small complaints on the plug & chug, the holes are pretty small and will only hold cans or small diameter water bottles. Course you wouldn't want to overweight the thing with a couple of big gulps anyhow, after all it is just sitting in the ashtray door which isn't the strongest thing to begin with. And they could have matched the vinyl grain better to match either the dash or seats. Other than that it works just fine and looks nice. Handy to hold other items as well. Bill that floor mat isn't robbing any power out of my car, I get every bit of the 5hp my Briggs is putting out under that hood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Nice clean install Cory. Your location/quick change approach set up is innovative. I like it a lot! :yay: Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nice use of the cup holder. Definitely makes for a quick removal and no gauge hanging under the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridercoachbob Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans '70 Z20 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Looks great! I have been looking for a place for a cup holder. In console compartment is awkward because then you have toleave it open and can’t lean on it. Between your legs ,,,,, well you know what happens. LOL Looks like a great option. They should make a lighter weight one without allt the weight of cushioning and vinyl. DAn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
