 Topic: Gauges pod install - 75 Pacer (rally pack)Posted: Jan/25/2021 at 1:56am |

I'm looking for a drawing on how to (mechanically) install the pod (rally pack).
It's not an electrical issue (wiring diagram is in the TSM) - it's about how to mount it under the dash. I saw a drawing but can't remember where ... hmm. The only, what I have is this:  Edited by Strange - Jan/25/2021 at 2:00am |

Here is an older post, unfortunately one of the members passed away. If you PM one of the people on the posting they may be able to help you out: https://theamcforum.com/forum/gauge-packages-for-77-amc-applications-and-newer_topic85138_page1.html At least 2 of the members have done this installation - looks cool! There are picture taken, unfortunately they are not accessible.

The problem on a Pacer is that the factory gauge equipped cars have a differently shaped dash (at the bottom) to accommodate the gauges. You will have to rig up something different on your car.

Thank you for this information. So I know, I have to cut the dashboard ...

The dash was not cut for the rally-pac to fit...It was a completely different mold and the things that are on the very bottom of your dash were never there...I don't think you are going to be very successful trying to cut the bottom off...I suggest you find a gauge set up from a Eagle...They are 4 across and mount them on the hump..With you being in Germany and could possibly have something go very wrong...another dash set up would be difficult and costly... |

Thank You, Bob, I'm thinking about this - but I'm not sure ... saw another post where the dash was cut and the rally pack mounted ... you can see, if you zoom in, the (dirty) cut ..
