In one of the issues of the now-defunt Hi Performance Mopar they added to an
83 Imperial digital oil pressure, voltmeter and water temperature gauges
using individual gauges from Nordsking (I think). They constructed a pod
that replaced the ash tray. I emailed the company but never received a
reply. I've seen the round digital gauges from that company advertised in
Summitt. If one could get the kits as shown in the magazine, it seems it
would be easy to add to at least the 81-83 Imps.
