Dave keep an eye on that penguin! they seem to have a nose for aging spirits you might have hidden around the home front.<br><br> The Penguin that brought in the SKDTR #6 paperwork somehow managed to drag a still home when he left

 

Could these pods be made from PVC sewer pipe and electrical tape??????? I am in the know and have seen the prototype. ;D

 

Me thinx someone is hacking on my gauge mount. &gt;<br><br>I finally got tired of everyone asking about the PVC. I've now got IssPro gauges cups scattered all over the truck ;D<br><br>Rod

Well, let's kick this puppy back up to the top. As of Sunday, 29 Dec, 2pm PST (Pacific Standard Time), the Rod Pod and gauges are installed and functional. I don't know if that makes me first all the way through but I'll bet I'm first in the Pacific Northwest. Since I'm not fortunate enough to have a digital camera, I'll just have to use an old fashioned camera with roll film and all. Pictures to follow. Having assisted others in their installation of A Pillars, I think the Rod Pod is an easier installation. It took longer but then, it was a 4 gauge installation and this old body didn't fit into some of the wierd contortions required. Long time coming. Now, let the bombing begin. <br><br>~Dave

 

Cool Dave- now hurry up and get those pics posted ;D

 

Certainly not the first, but I got my Rod's Pods last week and installed it Sunday. It went together well and looks great. ;D I really like having my EGT, boost and fuel pressure gauges at eye level. Thanks Rod!

 

<br> Just hooked the boost guage, one of three in (Rods Pod). Fuel pressure, EGT and the boost. I have the Agate interior, and found that SEM color coat #15243 Satin Black is about as close to the bezil color as could be. It's a flexable coating for plastics, carpet and vinyal.<br><br> One point on installation of fuel pressure guage, mount it on the left side of the Pod, for clearance of the line and wiring going behind the H/AC control panel.

 

H-m-m-m-m. I have the Rod Pod and put the Fuel Pressure gauge to the far right (as you're looking out the window). I found that to be the only place it would go due to the inflexibility of the stainless line that feeds the meter. Hey, whatever works.<br><br>~Dave

 

Question for all you guys that have installed fuel pressure gauges using SS line. I know that bending and installing the SS line can be a super PIA. Is there reason why you can't sub it for a high pressure flex line?<br>Reason for asking: I will be installing gauges soon and not sure yet wether my FP gauge will be electric of manual. The real reason: I am naturally lazy so want to avoid a lot of hard work. (You can't say I am not honest)

 

I got my Isspro Fuel Pressure guage and Stainless Steel Braided line from Wildcat diesel as a package deal.<br>I don't know of anyone actually using stainless tubing in an install. ???

 

Thanks. Maybe I was reading too finely between the lines from previous posts. Braided flex line makes sense.

 

Here's a link to a pic of my filter canister so you can see how the Stainless Braided hooks up.
I used a needle valve (open just enough to allow a correct pressure reading) to lessen the pulses to the guage to help eliminate the possibility of a buzz in the guage.

BTW this is hooked up Pre-Filter

Looking back and reading the posts...I think I was the first to have the Pod installed.<br><br>NA NA NA<br><br>
