Project: Plug the holes…

It’s better known as dropping a grand on gauges…

The boys at Anything Scout recommend gauges from AutoMeter.com. Over the next month or so, I will research these bad boys and consider the look I want inside my Scout II.

So I pulled the trigger on my gauges and went with the AutoMeter American Muscle Series. I researched online, but I have seen some like these at AnythingScout and found some on YouTube. This is a very personal step with thousands of options. You can do everything: digital, classic, stock, Chrono…etc. The options are limitless, it seems. For my install, I will have six gauges in the AnythingScout cutout. You will spend anywhere from $700 to $1200 on gauges. There are some cheaper ones on eBay and Amazon. At about 1/2 the price, that may be how you want to go, but I wanted something a little nicer.

From reading the directions, I see there are a few things to consider

1. This fuel level sender is equipped with a five-hole mounting flange. An adapter plate will be required if your vehicle uses a six-hole flange (Auto Meter model # 3263).
2. I think the Speedometer will need a relay to send the information from the screw to the electric sensors on the dash.
