It's not actually duals. One pipe has been stuff full of steel wool, and they just can't get it out.

And actually looking forward to working on it as the GTO is going to be left alone, all i am going to do to it is return its stock wheels and radio and some other minor boring stuff, But this car is going to be laying all over my garage floor, Now were to get a shaker hood for it and a four speed set up,and a various load of other goodies. Then in four years it goes back to being a six and then it will be off to play with something else,I am not going to worry about trying to make it any certain car just want to mod the sheet out of itNo rules to follow i love that idea. I would have done it to the GTO but i have way to much money into it being stock original and i find that after two years boring.

So, is that the 'economy gauge?' I might be interested if so.

All get you a pic of the cluster when i get a chance, I am thinking of using something like white auto meter guages so i will post up when i can and if it has what your looking for we can work out deal as the factory guages wont be going back in.

What do you want with an economy gauge, Jay? Those things never actually worked right, and they were pointless to have anyway.
