That is an insanely cool idea, Alan. Wouldn't have one for a y-body, would you?

John - I can sure make one. It would be even simpler on the C5 - there is no huge hole to fill in.

Looks good Alan. I take it the gauge needs to be mounted in the engine compartment to isolate any possible leaks in the cabin?

That car looks familiar..... ;-)

Yes, the firewall needs to be completely sealed between cabin and engine compartment, so the mount is fully welded and leak tested. The air end plumbing reroute is a minor complication, the aluminum stuff is quite lightweight.

Compared to a conventional .065" thick flat aluminum blockoff and the Canton Accusump mounting clamps, this setup is 2# heavier, but that's without any allowance for plumbing. I see a lot of them mounted in the back seat area, where the extra run of -10AN SS line could easily weigh 2#.
