Meissen's LT1 Rebuild Thread

Even so - still sounds a hell of a lot better than crawling under the car and dropping basically everything in the back of the car to get to the gas tank.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I agree, that is why I did it that way.

Teaser pics... They still have the plastic protective piece on the gauges which is why in the 2nd pic you can see rings in the lense.

Instructions are amazingly easy. One 12v constant wire to remember what color you set the gauges to, one 12v switched source to turn the gauge on, ground source, and then 1 analog wire to get the data from the sending unit. Got a free wiring harness kit with the setup which allows me to tap into the 3 power/ground wires only once and then distribute it to all three gauges with the harness. So far I'm pretty happy with the kit! Only downside is I thought it was a replacement A-pillar and it's not - it goes on top of the a-pillar.

sweet!


Instructions seem easy enough

Looks sweet Brian. I'm sure you'll never even notice that it's on top of the actual A-Pillar panel. It looks like it's shiny black? So it'll match your interior paint?

[meissen]

Looks like it's going to match alright.

That's FANTASTIC!

I hate the pillars that screw onto the other ones... But the only ones I saw that had full pillars (f-body wise) were t-top equipped third gens.

I got a full pillar, and it's a pretty close match, but it also cost me $100...

Looks GREAT brian! Are those the tinted series?

Looks great Brian. I had a pillar like yours where it go on top of the stock one and mine looked factory. Plus I got mine for free so you cant beat the price!

[meissen]

I got the A-pillar cover, three gauges, sending unit for the trans temp and the fuel pressure gauges, and a free gauge wiring harness kit for $175 shipped. I thought it was a pretty damned good deal.

You'd have to buy an auto meter pillar - but for hardtops, they don't make full pillars.
