Nexus gauges installed

Hi Everyone,
I finally finished the installation of the Auto Meter Nexus gages: Wideband Air/Fuel , Fuel Pressure and Boost / Vac . I've still have to have the bung welded on the header collector on Monday and then it will be comnpleted.I'll be installing my DPSS shift light once it gets back from Auto meter,going to be mounting it between the center air vents. Here's a few pics of the install.
alot of people wanted to know where the best place for switched circuit and constant circuit so I took pics of the locations, Hope this helps


pic of gages during cycle: notice the wideband is not hooked to sensor in this pic.


backside of pillar showing wires: after taking this pic,I disconected the network wideband wire ran it under the little hole so that all the wires were out of the way for replaceing pillar back in it's original location.


shows location of switched power circuit for connecting yellow nexus wire and red wideband wire ( blue and white brake switch ) in the lower left corner is the location for constant power( red nexus wire )

ground wires location

close-up of switch and connector

before wire being hide

hiden wires ( will be doing a better job of hideing wires ,during DPSS shift light install )

Thanks Tom! I really like the looks of the Nexus gages and the SOS pillar pod rocks!
now I just got to install the DPSS shift light once it gets back from Auto Meter,should be here sometime this week. (Will be taking lots of DPSS install pics)
I started to use the add a fuse ,but these power locations are on the drivers side. Plus alot cheaper than the add a fuse method.

I have a lot more pics,just didn't want to overload the thread. I really like these gages,I'll take more pics once wideband bung is welded and sensor is in collector.
I'll be taking pics of the gages color cycles.

When you get these gages do they come with wiring installation? What level of install do you say these are. I have been thinking about getting some gages but I don't know which ones to get. I like these! I have the IUP and it has some extra gages that the base model doesn't have. Any suggestions?

yes ,they do come with installation instructions,I install them with no problem,the hardest part is knowing where the power locations are,which if you look at the pics ,shows it pretty well. I could draw a diagram of the wireing hook-up when ready to install. The main thing is to just take your time and not get in a hurry.
