Default Finished gauges!

Just finished installing my cobalt fuel pressure gauge works great.

I have a aeroforce gauge in the center dash, autometer boost/vac gauge in far left vent and an SOS gauge pod with Innovate wideband and a Cobalt Fuel pressure gauge.

Thanks for the compliments, It's electrical installed using


"This convenient billet adapter mounts directly to the factory (or aftermarket equivalent) driver's side fuel rail, sandwiched between the rail and the OEM fuel pressure sensor. The fuel block seals with OEM-style O-rings, so no gaskets or sealants are required. Theinstallation is aquick and simple affair."

So I had a small leak at the fittings on the metco adapter couldn't find any information on how to seal the plugs but since Metco was closed I went ahead and used High temp Teflon Sealant. Let it cure overnight no more leaks(finally)!

I spoke to Metco this morning and they said you did need to use teflon sealant on the threads. So something finally went right for me but I wanted to mentionit since I could not find any information on this anywhere.

Just 1 question. Why did you use 3 different kinds of gauges?

Not a huge fan of a pillar gauges but I know you need em to see whats going on. The auto meter ones arent too bad.
