Review Equus - Triple Gauge Kit Part # 8200 Dodge Neon and Mustang GT

i have been using this

Equus - Triple Gauge Kit

Part # 8200

 

the Gauges look good and work correctly, since i dont have the funds to have Auto-meter gauges these work just fine. i was a bit skeptical at 1st when i installed them in my 1987 Mustang GT Convertible. i noticed that the back glow was decent for night time driving, the gauges are accurate. when it came down to my 1998 Dodge Neon the temp gauge was failing in the dash and yes i know i could have resoldered the connection on the back of the board. i like mechanical gauges vs electronic, with mechanical there is little chance that the gauges wont fail. here are some vids of what they look like installed.

1974 Ford Mustang II Rag Joint Repair

today we tackeled the rag joint repair i read on a few forums that u can use part number 31000 in the help at orielys or autozone as a replacement for the plastic joint it just required removing the one side of the steering rack it takes a 9/16 socket and wrench, what we did was to remove the steering column from the car which was alot easier, then removing the shoulder bolt from the joint. all in total the time was about 3hrs to remove and install.
