i do have a turbo boost gauge, its pretty much seized though. i need to tap at it if i want any kind of reading from it. it does not have a pyrometer though. where would you recommend i buy replacement gauges? i'm going to be redoing the dash anyways.

Go to Hamilton for your thermostat, I'm not sure that it is common like a Ford or Chevy but I don't know for sure.
Isspro makes a good gauge but I don't know that they are as good as they once were. I have one of their pyrometers on a
1954 truck that works just fine but I replaced the one in my Airstream with an Isspro electronic gauge and it has never worked properly. They did attempt to make it right but I was on the road on the east coast and shipping parts to where I might be became more trouble than it was worth. I also have an Isspro tach and pyrometer in my pick up and after six years the pyrometer is fine but the tach has failed.
