EGT and Boost Pressure gauges are a true necessity if you want to turn up the performance. When I'm pulling a 12 degree 10 mile long grade at 60 or 70 mph, and I've got my foot in it, is NOT the best time to be looking down at the shifter to see if my boost pressure and EGTs are in at or below the danger point...

Someones got to do it...
Back from my "holiday" cruise. Attached is a pic of the guage pod from my son's 300D. Analog guage for WVO fuel Tank, digital guage for H2O temp and digital guage for WVO temp. This was one of our early fits. Later pods had a finer fit.
The new Cruise ship looked wonderfull and she handled well. However you can only spend so much time eating steak and lobster along the European coast before...you get to the UK and get thrown off so paying passengers can get onboard. Last edited by marybeth; 07-19-2009 at 10:34 PM.

BTW, I got a response from the sales guy at the company I've been working with on this. He says he doesn't have ANYTHING that will closely match the curvature of the top end of the pillar. So I guess I'm back to square one...

Dang, that ship burns Diesel, how many gallons does it hold? maybe it could be converted to WVO .Back in the early 60`s I was on a WWII navy Destroyer, that thing held 146,000 gallons of Bunker oil, but we had steam boilers then. Charlie
