HELP - SPA guage install questions

[Archive]

Someone call the Guiness Book! I think I'm going for a record here - I'm trying to see if I can be the slowest installer of these guages in history! (No free time and I want to do it right!)

1) How in the world are you getting those big connectors down between the dash and the A-pillar so as to be able to feed them through the firewall?

2) Do the guages really just press into the Autometer A-pillar mount without trimming? It seems like a really tight fit!

3) I just realized there are no lights on the guages (unless you manually turn them on) Is this correct? So at night you have to scroll through the menu to get them to light up?

4) Any harm in wiring the power lines (for two guages) together and the grounds together?

BTW, I'll be reading pre and post turbo temps, boost and tranny temp. (as soon as my new factory '95 tranny line gets here!)

Thanks for the info!
