    (this isnt for a buick) but its a general question about aftermarket parts. My 87 firebird has pretty well every gauge thats important to a car nut already in the dash. Tach, speedo, oil pres, fuel, voltmeter, and coolant temperature. Ive also since installed 2 vacuum gauges, one inside, and another more precise (shorter range) under the hood. The temp and oil pressure dont work at the moment, but that can be rectified pretty easily.

    However, i have 3 new spots for gauges on my A-pillar now :) and not too sure what to put in. I dont want an ammeter, if i install one, it will be underhood. I think ill get tranny temp, a full sweep short range temp gauge for cyl head temp, and ....?

    However, i will need to run electric senders, because there is limited space on the A-pillar and id like to keep the wiring to a minimum. Autometer has a HUGE selection, but the new ones are a bit out of my price range. I also got lost looking through all the different brands.

    Anyone know a site (or have some of your own that you are selling) where i could get black face, orange needled ones? I suppose this could have been posted in the wanted section, but im also looking for ideas of which gauges to get. Thank you. Any comments or ideas appreciated.

    Get ahold of Classical Instruments in Boyne City, Michigan. Tell them what you want, answer a couple questions and they can make and send you what you need.

    Sorry.. I dont have a number handy. But, I do know they're in the same building with Great Lakes Motorworks, if that's any help.

    MAKE and send? Hmm, do you have any idea about their prices? No worries about the number, i can dig it up. But i figure if they MAKE them, in small quantities, probably more expensive than autometer.
