Speedhut stuff is SWEET! Not many know of Speedhut, it's like Classic, they come from the marine world.

Ok, Greg, my mind is slipping with age! The gauge pods I had were a 3-pod and a 1-pod, and the 3-pod was a top mount, which means the angle of the openings are the opposite direction they need to be when you mount them from below (it ends up upside down).

Soooo, felt bad I built up your hopes, so I built a custom gauge harness to make up for it. I used that flex-loom, so it's tight against the wire, or group of wires. used shrink wrap to terminate the ends. On the dash side ( top-left piece of pic) , have 2 weather packs, one for the senders and engine ground ( bottom-right piece ), one for dash light power and key-on power ( 2-pin connector with yellow and orange wires ). Also, did a brain dump and drew it on paper for a schematic.

Also included a push-grommet that you can use to enter the housing for the loom to gauges connetions. ( you can use the weather packs to unplug and remove the gauges with the lower dash ducting.)

The VDO gauge is a vision electric analog gauge, part # 310105:

The wiring diagram is available online. It's basically a sender lead, a key-on power lead, and the bezel light plus & minus, fyi.

Couldn't find the 45 degree angle fitting for the oil sending unit, know I bought like 3 of them, but are probably in a pile somewhere burried.If I should dig one up in the next week or so, I'll send it.

I say order the gauge pod from egauges.com, and compare the prices between egauges and summit. Remember to order the 'left-side' type if you're mounting below the dash like I did. (probably part number POD-007 )

Ok, now that's said, I'll PM you the tracking info for the harness and gauge... hope that helps some...
