Bowler Performance Transmissions has partnered with Classic Instruments to bring you a classic-styled temperature gauge. This new temp gauge fits a 2-inch opening and is 2-1/2 inches deep. It includes the temp sensor, wiring, hardware, and is available in a black or white face.
Bowler also offers a simple LED indicator (Transmission Guardian) that can serve as your guide to keeping tabs on transmission temps through a series of color changes in the LED, whether or not you’re in the safe zone.
If this isn’t exactly what you want, Classic Instruments can outfit you with any color or style of temperature gauge you can dream up.

Hot Rod Innovations has come up with a very cool-looking and easily functioning adjustable billet coilover shock throttle return spring kit. You say, what?
The shock throttle return spring allows the user to adjust the tension of the throttle return spring without having to change the spring itself; simply spin the adjuster ring to add or subtract the preload. From a safety stand point, because we are using the spring in compression and have it captured on the shock, even if the spring were to break it can’t go anywhere and will still close the throttle. All bracketry is 6061 billet and is available in clear or black anodize and takes care of both the throttle cable and kickdown cable where applicable. The shocks are available in a number of different colors.
