Wondering where you got your front lip from?




Thanks for the compliment!

Um, looks around sheepishly...

It's weather stripping.

A bibt of an update:

We could not get the VDO tach to work with or without the Dakota Digital module. It would cut off at about 5200 RPM and then start reading again below 5200 RPM. I sent the instrument cluster back to Fieroking along with the ECM and the verdict was that the VDO gauge just isn't compatable. We instead went with a Speedhut Revolution 4" tach which works perfectly even without the Dakota Module. I wanted the two main gauges to match so we also went with the Revolution 4 in. Metric 260km/h Programable Speedometer (w/peak).

Joe got them mounted in the stock cluster and I think they look like they belong there.







These units are only 1" deep and the etire gaule minus the lens and ring were installed:



The feeds and lighting were connected to the stock circuits:



I haven't tried them our yet as the ECM fuel trables were being modified as I was running a bit rich. Once I have the ECM back in and everything put back together I'll take her for a spin!

Another small update.

Received my new glovebox and installed it today from Mike (TXGOOD). Excellent product and highly recommended. it is a real enhancement tot he stock dash in my opinion.

Your Tach is actually not a Revolution series, but a Legacy series. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Thanks

Looks great! Colour matched glove box door and all! It may be just me, but I think I hear those door map pockets asking to be recovered red...

Easily one of the cleanest 88's in the entire planet. Always in awe of your ride Nolan.

Stopped by Joe's for a few hours yesterday to help him disassemble his next project, and for conversation. I have heard that your guages are all situated, and that happiness has found ya.
