It's been awhile since my last post and I took a pretty long break to get my house ready to list and finish some plans for the new place.

I'm not far from from starting the body work.

I just got my MegaSquirt parts to build last week. I've finished the relay board and Stimulator. The ECU is next and will probably take a week or so at the rate I work and with this being my first MS.

It's a MS2 but will be built upgrade ready in a MS3 case. I would like to have the USB support and SD card datalogging that comes from the MS3 daughter board. I don't plan on the MS3X card but I might build my harness so a switch to sequential injection will be easier.

My SpeedHut gauges got here today!!!!

They arrived when promised and look exactly like what I ordered. These are custom Revolution series gauges. White face, dark blue font (nearly black), EL reverse blue lighting, red needle with red glow, black bezel, and includes all the wiring and sensors.

The speedO is GPS which gets you some neat features. The tach has an integrated shift light system. ALL of the gauges have dual peak record and a programmable warning light. The exception is the fuel gauge that has a programmable low light.

These are for a hot rod not a coupe or roadster so the look need not match an ideal for the era. I decided against any logo or graphics.

This is not the side you see but proved important for my install.


The normal side


Some gauges don't have the shift lights and they can be turned OFF


Packaging is great. Everything you need is there and well marked.
