Has anybody installed a custom gauge setup (Autometer, Stewart-Warner, etc) and if so I wanna see some pics please.
Well, not to steal his thunder, but I know 78pinto did it in his.

Should have an update on the latter in a week or two.
IIRC Harley has a full Stewart-Warner, or Autometer setup in his Blue Rallye.
Here's mine, a custom, integrated guage pod with el-cheapo guages.

This is what I did.
I used Autometer "Sport Comp" gauges: Speedo, Tach, Oil, Boost and Fuel Press.

My dad installed these back in the latte 80s or early 90s I believe. I just got around to actually connecting them so they are of some use. :)
Sorry about the double post. I found my close up shot:
In order of --temp-->oil pressure-->ammeter--
I put have tapered bezels so they are angled to view them without leaning over. This location is only good for a "driver" since you need to take your eyes of the road. I use it just to monitor engine temp & RPMs.
Put them where you can see em!
