Hot Rods Where to put a Air/Fuel Mixture Gauge

Plan to install this gauge to deal with the usage of the three Carter YH carburetors,
'54 Corvette stuff on my 269.85 cu. in. Chevy six, damn near a 270...
To place the gauge on the firewall or inside on the dashboard...
Appreciate your ideas...Thanks, dyno Dave

 

Tough to read it when driving if on the firewall. Would be beneficial I guess when tuning under the hood.

 

Somewhere that a video camera can see it, as well as your tach, and throttle pedal or something that indicates throttle opening. A poor man's data acquisition system...

That will then give you an idea of what the other conditions are before you make mixture adjustments.

 

In your tool bag.

 

I put mine in a two gauge panel under the dash because there was really no other logical place.
it shares the panel with a vacuum gauge.
it would have been better to be more in direct line of sight and closer to the tach but..

 

I have two one on each bank on my g***er they are behind a plate on the dash that is held in place with velcro

 

I would temporarily mount it on the dash right in front of the steering wheel, until you are done with the major tuning.

 

Mine is mounted to a rubber covered ceramic magnet, I have it in clear sight when needed and under the dash when I don’t want to see it. It worked well to dial in the tune on the two Holley’s I have on the Boss engine.

 

That’s ok….a Z28 is damn near a 302…it was a 301 when we built them. It’s like a 327 is a 326+ but Pontiac already used that number. Your closer than both of them…
