Another piggy resurrection..

Nice! That's the same gauges I have. The GPS works great, only lose it going in a tunnel or the shop. It's pretty cool how you have to set the tach, etc. up. One compliant thou and I caulk it up to my age, can't read the odometer in day light, small potatoes!

I weighed the Speedhut option versus a nice set of Autometer gauges, and for the extra $150ish I went for the Speedhut.
Maybe it's just me, but as popular as they are I have never like under dash gauge panels. These fit the stock gauge locations and work fine with a Chevy drivetrain, unlike my stock gauges.

Where did you get the gauges? Are they typical 5"? Mechanical/electrical senders? Non-GPS version?

Those might look good in my brown one

Electrical gauges, GPS speedo, 4-3/4" (IIRC) . I just got mine in, but it's easy to see that these are really nicely made.

Was TEQ through speed hut?

And I guess I should have phased my question better. Were they available in non-GPS model?

You should check their site to be sure, but the GPS speedo is one of the reasons I went with this setup.
Take a look at their "speedbox", this converts gps, can bus, transmission, or ECM to your mechanical speedo. SpeedBox™ Mechanical Cable Drive Converter

OK, next problem..
I had to ditch the emissions era exhaust manifolds on the mid 70's Chevy crate motor I am running. There was an extended wing on the drivers side for accessory mounting that was in the way of the relocated PS pump.
After putting on the new manifolds, I found that the PS pump is at the outer limits of adjustablity, and the tubing on the back of the PS pump hits the head. I was going to remove the pump to move it forward past the obstruction and see if I could get it clear of the head. To me it looks like I will need to replace the fittings on the back of the PS pump to lower their profile. Has anyone done this before?

Looks like you could make a longer bracket and move the pump past the header. You would need to get a bigger belt, also.

The problem there is that the PS pulley just lines up with the outside crank pulley now. If I space it out I wont be able to connect a belt.

I meant move the pump to the left, towards the fender. Keep it inline with the pulley, just get it away from the header. By looking at the picture you have an inch or two. Hope that makes sense.
