2-1/16 Single Gauge Pod - 84-96 Corvette

The 2-1/16 Single Gauge Pod for 84-96 Corvette by AutoMeter is a purpose-built instrument housing designed for C4-generation Corvette owners seeking to upgrade their dashboard instrumentation without sacrificing factory aesthetics. This single-gauge pod mounts directly to the driver-side pillar, providing a clean, integrated installation point for auxiliary gauges—oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel pressure, or voltage monitoring. Whether you're building a street performance engine or managing daily-driver reliability, this pod solves the real problem that nearly every Corvette modifier faces: where to mount critical engine data without drilling the dash or marring the original interior trim.

This gauge pod is engineered from durable black plastic, precisely molded to accept a standard 2-1/16-inch diameter AutoMeter gauge—the industry standard diameter for mechanical and electrical analog instruments. The pillar-mount design takes advantage of factory trim lines, allowing the pod to sit flush against the cabin structure with minimal modification to the original interior. The compact footprint (4.7 x 4.4 x 7.8 inches) ensures the gauge remains within arm's reach for quick reference without creating driver-side obstruction or dashboard clutter. Installation requires no welding, cutting, or permanent alteration to the vehicle frame, making this one of the cleanest retrofit solutions for adding diagnostic capability to early-generation Corvettes.

Serious Corvette enthusiasts—from turbocharged build-ups to naturally aspirated engine swaps—rely on this pod to monitor real-time engine conditions that factory gauges don't display. The design is engineered exclusively for 1984–1996 Corvette C4 chassis applications, ensuring precise fitment without gap issues or loose mounting hardware. Installation typically involves pilot-hole drilling into the pillar trim and securing the pod with stainless fasteners; no custom fabrication required. For builders running modified engine management, fuel systems, or boost, this single-gauge mounting solution is the fastest way to add professional-grade telemetry to the cockpit while maintaining the Corvette's classic interior design language.
