Thank you! On another note, after pulling the engine and putting new rings in it, there was no significant increase in compression. so, i have pulled the heads and put a suction cup and vacuum tool on it and, guess what all the valves are leaking. obviously the retard who "rebuilt" my heads...
I put my gauges in the same place with aluminum diamond tread. It looked pretty good except I didn't like how I had to lean over to see the top of the gauges. I installed an overhead console and I may put them in there. have not decided yet.
