A Pillar Guages

[tjbuick]

What is the gauge size and style (brand, model, etc) choice of those that have them on the A Pillar. Thanks. TJ

Boost and EGT, I prefer Autometer. I am not sure of the size. I think 2 1/4 or 2 1/8. Not sure.

All A-pillar setups take either a 2 1/16" gauge or a 2 5/8" gauge. Your more common ones take the 2 1/16", and gauge companies that you will see in 9 out of 10 Turbo Buicks are either Autometer #1 or VDO #2. I have run Autometer gauges religiously for the past 14 years without any problems on my turbo cars. First gauge I ever purchased was an Autometer Sport Comp boost gauge for my 1990 Sunbird GT Turbo. I even buck the trend of the Import crowd and run an Autometer boost gauge in my Evo. I currently run the full pillar twin gauge pod from Lotek with Autometer Z-series 0-35 boost and electric oil press.

Autometer

Autometer is the only way to go imho. I have the c2's in both pillar and console in my 86' All mine are 2 1/16th inch.

ultra lite 2 1/16 Autometers in one of their pillar pods also!

I kinda like the cluster in the GTO better.....who knew what 20 years of technology would do?

I've used lots of different brands of gauges, and everyone of them but Autometer have ended up in the trash can!
