79 - 86 Mustang 2-1/16" Vent Gauge Pod

With the vent shimmed so it does not face down or up from the weight of the gauge this may be a way to go for some people. I'd say the price is reasonable too for what it is. Its marketed towards the four eye foxbodies but I believe the registers are the same between them and our 79 to 89 boxes. I am pretty fond of the idea.

Man that’s cool. I’d rock that if I was still daily driving the 88. I like that you still have a little vent function also.

Its neat. Found it on foureyepride in a interior modifications thread. I then checked out the etsy site and proceeded to buy a couple cool things. 79-86 foxbody silhouette bottle opener (for pops as he has an 85 GT since new) and a 87 to 93 hatch and vert fox body keychain for two co workers. One had an 87 GT top for as long as I known him (since 06 so even earlier) and the other just picked up a 92 or 93 yellow LX feature car vert. Ill media blast them and powdercoat them the color of their cars and surprise them.

Need those seats....

If that thing makes 475hp than my build will make 500... LOL

That bumper! I already have a NOS one but that’s tempting...still searching for a rear, and more importantly a rear core support!

How do you remove that faceplate? I cracked it last time pulling on it.

How to you unhook the PRNDL cable from the cluster? Thanks guys.

[gadget73]

remove all of the screws and it basically falls off if I remember right. I know I've had them apart before and it wasn't any big deal.


PRNDL cable is also a screw that comes out and then you unhook the wire loop from the pointer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Mercury bumper have more space between the bumper guards than the Ford? Shouldn't they line up with the outer edges of the grill? WagonMan

You have to have it out of the car and unbolt the speedometer from the rear housing. I believe that is the main thing holding it in place.

To remove the cable...same with cluster removed from vehicle unbolt everything, remove face plate then unbolt the cable in question and slide it out.

Yes. They are different. Fun fact....In 1987 the crown victoria did receive grand marquis front bumpers for some reason.
