    • Should work... definitely get components for the rear though, there is no reason not to!

        Did you get it from GlowShift? Both ends are too big? It seems odd that they would sell an adapter that doesn't even fit their fuel pressure gauge -4an to 1/8" NPT

        (I think I was getting my sizes mixed up pretty bad. 1/8" NPT will be about 1/4" across the threads and have 1/8" orifice. Sorry if I screwed you up! )

          No big deal, I have a nice shinty paper weight now

          I got one of the ends, local parts buddy hooked me up. He is waiting on the other to come in the an fitting. Right now I have a female female Npt and I think the other fitting we are waiting on is a -4an fitting? Idk? He seems to think it'll all be good.

          • was it from GlowShift though? I was thinking about getting one to clean up my Bel Air's pressure gauge setup. Currently has a -4an to -4an coupler and then a 90* male -4an to female 1/8" NPT fitting for the oil filled gauge.

            • Yes it was the same one as the link I posted.

              I hope the sensor/regulator doesnt hit my intake I'll have to check it out again.

              • I'd call them to see whats up...

                I thought I saw another female -an to female 1/8 NPT before but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

                • Aren't you afraid of the bolt scraping? I have scrapes on my trans pan, that bolt just seems like such a horrible location.

                    Not too worried about it. I avoid bumps and steep entrances at all cost.

                    • I got all of the band clamps on the exhaust, should have all the minor leaks fixed.

                      I think this is the head unit I'm going with.
                      http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004J5...sr=8-4&pi=SL75

                      These are the speakers I'm going to go with. What's the benefits of running both component speakers in the front and rear and if I go with just coaxile for one pair should I do the fronts or rears?

                      http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007MT...sr=8-5&pi=SL75


                      Next mod is looking into getting the other 3.42 rear. TJ!????


                      I'm still wondering if I should run my trans cooler in line or run it on it's own? Also where should I mount it? Any pics would be great!

                      • Therea not really a good place to mount tweeters in the front but if you can do it components always have better bass replication.

                        • Alpine ftw. Have it from my HU, to all my speakers. In my 94 that is(installed immediately after purchasing back in 05)'. 98 is soon to follow suit.

                          Gauges look damn nice..Great job! I'm jealous

                          • I got the fuel pressure sensor all hooked up. Holds 50 psi with the key on.

                            • Bought this head unit today.

                              http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/det...20&ev=prodView

                              The alpine looked chincy in person.

                              I think I'll get these speakers.
