Unfortunately now it makes the Sunpro gauges under the dash look really crappy.



I see lots of GTO's with the 3 gauge pod mounted right where these are. Was the 3 gauge pod ever sold over the counter by Pontiac dealers or were they just an add on by owners who wanted better engine status? What manufacturer of the gauge package would have been installed "in the day"?

Thanks in advance,

I had the 3-gauge pod installed by the dealer on my car when it was a few weeks old. It was not an option per se, but you could get a lot of stuff like that done at the dealer. I originally used the Stewart Warner gauges, but later I updated to the 2 5/8" Autogauge cluster. I still have the S-W's around here somewhere. The charge for the gauges and the installation was $50, which was more than half of a car payment at the time.
