nvm, i played with it and got it off, no problems.

then complete pillar with the gauge( just one for now) looks sweet!

now i just gotta run the electrical for the gauge!

The A pillar snaps right off. Once you get it off, it's easy to see what holds it on.

If you bought a ScienceOfSpeed gauge pillar, you will have to screw it back on It does not snap in place.

Last year, someone posted pictures of where you can plug your electrical in. IIRC, it's below the dash, between the steering column and the kick panel. There are two "sockets" to plug in female terminal leads - one is switched (turns on with the ignition), and the other is unswitched.

I'm doing the same gauge project this weekend. Bought all my stuff (gauges and pillar) thru Autometer. The senders/hot/ground connections are easy. Anybody know a convenient place to tap into the dashlights? Maybe the fuse or console switches? Thanx

i have the power and ground hooked up on the gauges, but i dont know where the voilet wire on the air/fuel gauge goes... some wire from the o2 sensor but i cant seem to find what they are talking about!
anyone know?

Deef, just tap into the headlight fuse under the dash.
Nick32, purple wire goes to the 02 signal wire (usually either a green or white wire)

There is no need to splice the headlight wire. One of the open sockets in the fuse box has 12V only with the headlights on. you can plug the wire in there.

Find which one with a volt meter or test light, no volts untill the lights are on.

Thanx! You all just saved me 2 hours work, possible headaches and made the install safe and clean ... cheers

i have to go to the green or white wire coming out of the o2 sensor?
do i run the wire all the way down there, or is there a closer place that i can run it to for it still to work?
