I like it, it is light and mounted to an existing hole in the light bar, I just used a longer one.  It is easy to see and the shift light is adjustable for brightness.  It will blind you on full bright though..  I wanted something that didn't take up too much space.  It is pretty much even with the front of the dash.

Tom

You can also shut off the tach and just leave the shift light active if you don't want the distraction.  My car idles at 650 in gear.LOL  Cruises at 65 around 2890 or so.

That engine bay is looking great.  How do you like that master cylinder?  Also if you get a chance, could you get a driver's side pic of that shield?  Thanks

It's a POS.  I have been changing the gaskets and caps on it.  I think this set is staying good for now anyways.

I'll get a pic soon.  It is the Mancini Stainless shield, they sell another in polished AL too.

Thanks, but take your time, it is not a rush.  Do you think it would be an easy part to make if I had some scrap aluminum laying around?

Call me crazy, I changed the intake tonight.  I had this Air Gap for a while now, just needed to get it on.  The old intake wasn't sealing perfectly and needed to be cut just a bit so I had this one cut so I could swap it right on.  Seems like the fit is much better.
Also I got one of the Schumacher TQ straps and got it in there.PITA

Some Pics from Carlisle I found on my camera.

Thanks, it is a nice driver.  I haven't been able to drive it much for a few weeks but I took it out last night for a bit and remembered what it was all about.

Thanks Again, BTW your car doesn't look to shabby either. :2thumbs:
