I finally am happy with my gauge setup now.

I had all Lunar gauges, Trans Temp, Boost, and Air/Fuel in my triple A pillar. But then I removed the A/F and put in the AEM wideband a few months ago.....
well it just bothered me that the wideband was not backlit like the Lunars (which match the stock SVT electroluminescent gauges)

So I bought a column pod to move the wideband into, and bought a Lunar Oil press. to put in the triple pod.

But, there was a lot of drama involved in getting the column pod and the AEM wideband to work together with the steering wheel (the bottom of the steering wheel next to the column was hitting the gauge bezel) For some reason AEM makes their bezel about 3 times larger than Autometer gauges.

But anyway...all the fabrication drama aside.....I am very happy now, and the WB is in a more visible spot, so all is well.

The gauges from the top. down are:

Oil Pressure
Boost
Trans Temp
(column) Wideband

I need to take some night time pics also so you can see the Lunar lighting.

I also plan to do the exact same setup in the 93 Lightning once I get the Turbo Setup, but I will be using Phantom gauges and a AEM WB. :nice:

AEM Wideband....no backlighting at all, just the outter edge lights up and the center digital readoout.

I will get some night pics in the next day or two.
