Digital Dash

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thinking of getting an oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge
and
voltmeter.  The Summit Catalog has several choices of Digital gauges.
I
kind of like the Cyberdyne gauges, or the Nordskog. Thinking of 
making
a
gauge cluster than goes where the A pillar trim piece should be. Any
body
have any comments about digital gauges?? 

I want to get my Javelin a
little
bit out of the 70s and into the current century. Thought maybe a
digital
tach would be too difficult to follow with the numbers zinging by as
the
revs build, so maybe just a regular tach with a needle, shift lite
and
maybe a rev limiter.

I'm also looking for wheels to bring the car into the modern era, any
one
had any experience with fitting the new wheels to the old cars? What
wheels look good on the 70 Javelin, c'mon give me your opinion, heck
I
deserve abuse, haha. Oh yeah what wheels fit?? I don't think those
huge 19
or 20 inch wheels will look good but I do think maybe a set of 16s or
17s
might modernize the car a bit, what you think???

For a Javelin > these would be my choice of wheels
outside of the Factory 'Machine' styled road wheels 1970 - '72
vintage:

The Minator is the same rims that the Javelin Trans Am
race vehicles sported > in 10 x 15" sizes.

8 x 15 rear with 6 x 15" fronts with the correct backspacing
would look great - .

Pedigree "Bling-Bling"..........

As to Digital Gauges > do all the research on offerings.

When I pondered my Dash - Digital readouts looked like
a cheap watch after awhile [ well........ you did ASK@!~~ ]

To me, nothing looks as great as that AMX spun alloy & 
that Tach.

'A' pillar pods I do like > hope to have a few gauges hanging there
when I'm finished - might use Digital for the exhaust Temps - 
but I've found I'm an Old School Needle & Sweep junkie.

If you've a Cowl Induction Hood > might get some Digital type lights
& string them across the Screen facing the the windshield for 
a 'Wide Sweep' Tachometer > Green / Yellow / Red expanses
to cannote RPM ranges.  One of the Digital makers can advise
what to do to hook them up to a Digital Tach unit.

Auto-Meter has the best looking aftermarket Gauges > Monster Tach
& those Fluid Filled Race Gauges along with their Shift Lite is
righteous.

Back when Hendrix ruled, my chum Dan had a '61 Plymouth 6
& some clear 6 volt mini-lights that he mounted behind the
clear bezel clock delete - hooked to the distributor somehow.
Each bulb lit according to the cylinder firing -
