Andreas Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Before your jump into hacking your dash, check this out: http://www.dakotadigital.com/products/chevelle.htm I was VERY close to give them an order until I found the pillar post gauge pods from Autometer See here: http://www.firstgenmc.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000014.html ------------------ 71 Monte 383 "The Full Monty" 86 Monte LS ZZ4 "The Gray Mouse" Andreas' Monte Carlo Site Member NMCOA, FGMCC (Event Coordinator) --------------------------------------- "It ain't a car if it's not a Monte" [This message has been edited by Andreas (edited 10-09-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 JEG'S has 1 set of 1.5" guages that look like they could be adapted to fit. They have different combinations of oil, water and temp. you would have to call them and figure out what you want. They mount in the normal way guages do. They are black with some indicator coloring. They look good. 1-800-345-4545 ------------------ George Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Did you buy the auto Meter Pillars? If so how well did it fit to the pillar and what about the passenger side, as they do no longer match, I am just curious about the cosmetic appearance.

Do you know where I could see a pic?????</font> At the time I answered this site, I was looking at an older JEG'S catalogue. I'm looking at their latest cat. and am no longer finding a 1 1/2". I suggest you call them to find out. They may order for you even if they don't show them. 1-800-345-4545 I was thinking about doing this to my own Monte. I already have a set of 1 1/2. I'll check them out and see if it can be done with my parts car I just got since the dash is already tore up. I'll get back to you ASAP. Maybe Friday ------------------ George Lines [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 03-07-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Check out the AUTOMETER Gauge pillar for Chevelles/Montes with 2 1/16" Autometer Gauges....

Guest Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Checked out the idea of using 1 1/2 guages in the dash today. Not a good idea. It could posibly be done, but I'm not going to try it. Way too much work. ------------------ George Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I ordered a double pillar pod guage from autometer for my 71 and it fits absolutely perfect. Cost $20 something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 could somebody who has one of those autometer gauge a-pilar gauge pods tell me the measurements where the actual pods are located on the pilar. im asking cause i have my tach mounted on the a-pilar but it is located very low on it and i didnt know if you could still mount the pod without moving the tach.

Andreas Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Check out the pics on my website and judge for yourself...: http://silverstone.fortunecity.com/gordon/229/cockpit.JPG The pod could be shifted up a bit more on the pillar, but the gauges will not be on eye-height anymore...
