I got the gauge pod from CDC, but there are many venders out there. Here is their link:

Kinda pricy for a piece of plastic, but ya gotta do what's right! It took a bit of sanding to get rid of the mold parting lines, then I hit it with Krylon plastic paint (Wal-Mart). The Autometer Cobalts with the silver trim matches my color blue dash lights and benzels pretty good (although chrome in Mustangs and silver in the Shelby).
Hey, those clear lights are the hottest thing around this week...can't believe you guys didn't save me any

HI-JACK!
Dave,
Nice pod, BTW. I see you have a FP gauge. Where did you install the sender unit? Could you get me a pic or two of the install of the sender. Asking a lot here, but maybe a parts list of what was used to install as well. Thanks a Bunch!

The fuel pressure sender was installed into the fuel crossover hose with a T-connector (pieces from Advance Auto).
I'll get a picture for you but it is kinda obscure.
About the gauge pod, I ended up cutting a big hole in the dash. The instructions say that you can squeeze the wires out back and around the defroster duct, but I had so many wires and was getting way too pissed off trying to fish them through. It also did not latch too well with the double-sided tape, so it is RTV-glued down

Just a bit of warning about Muscle Car Direct orders....
I had one in for the lenses for over 4 weeks. Never heard a thing from MCD till I called them and they told me they were backordered. I cancelled my order Thursday and ordered from JEG's. Got the lenses in two days.
Hopefully the ones on backorder will come in soon for you guys. I'm sure with their buying power they'll probably be able to turn the products around pretty quick.

Yes, in the stock form it may be too stiff though. With my KB kit, it is replaced with a piece of standard 5/16 300psi rubber fuel hose. I cut it, and placed the T-fitting with hose barbs in line and clamped it with fuel line clamps. The hose runs behind the manifold instead of over the top. It has not leaked a drop with 60psi from the boost-a-pump. BTW, the fuel pressure sender uses 1/8 NPT fitting.
UB10, just mail me your's!!
