    What A-pillar pod did you use for that?

    BTW, I don't know of a reason to have a full-time fuel pressure gauge on a street vehicle ....

      I didn't, I'm just saying it could be done. I put my gauges (two of them) where the radio should be.

      Also, for a 90-91 you can use a steering column pod for early 2000's F series trucks. I'm not sure what pod it is though. I'd have to look.

        Right, I'd forgotten about illumination. On mine that's wired separately.

          Incidentally, no one should overlook the possibility of a 2-1/16" mini tach being installed in place of the factory clock unit (this is what I did initially). Looks decent, works great, no hacking of original parts required.
          Less permanent ftw mine was clamped to the column, and you couldnt tell now that its moved to the clock hole

            Basically, imagine a Marauder without the 4v motor and wheels. Its essentially the Mercury version of the Vic LX Sport. Bucket seats, center console, handling package, probably some other goodies.
