I'll grab a pic shortly.I was supposed to meet Jangus to hand over some parts,waited for 20 minutes,no Jangus. We may have misunderstood each other about where we are meeting.I came home in hopes he'd call so I could get his stuff to him.I gave him my cell,but no call.I'm not sure what to do.Maybe I'll go see if he's there yet.Back shortly.

That definately looks cool Vinnie.  Now, your AMP gauge looks like it shows charge, does it actually move?  Is the 3G the reason the system shows charge?

My amp gauge never moves.....at all.One day I may go all aftermarket gauges.But that'll be in a year or more.

It really looks good in there. I think it should be a keeper.

That´s awesome ! Atleast I like it if I would have buttstuffog cluster then I would definately want to buy it from you but I´m happy with my full digi cluster :D Now you have to look for tach with 10 000 rpms from BBK you never know what have they produced.

Ok, must be the angle, wish we could find a Voltmeter that matched the oem gauges that would fit in that spot.

I have a couple of TC gauge clusters.I'll find some Autometer gauges and fit them in.Not a big deal.Just have to hook everything up and get the speedo to work right.I'm sure there's some kind of "adapter" to fit our speed sensor.I'll probably start buying gauges one at a time when funds allow and start the project and take my time with it.Hook all the wires in the cluster with a plug and make a harness from it so the cluster isn't hardwired,and I can remove it if need be.

Who knows.I didn't even know these speedos were made til a week ago.I doubt I'll replace any more gauges until I start the new cluster assembly.I've said it before,I'd rather have full digi gauges,but that's probably not going to happen.It's a toss up.For me,wiring a completely new gauge cluster from scratch with a new fabbed harness would be better than modifying the current harness.

The gauge harness doesn't effect the running of the vehicle if it was unplugged from the cluster would it?.

When I first put the HO in mine, I didn't have the cluster in...never seemed t bother anything. Although I'd probably guess the alternator may not charge due the shunt through the ammeter circuit, can't say for sure though.

I wonder about that.If I go to all new gauges,I won't ue the factory harness.Although,as i stated,this will be a while,unless I get some wicked good deals on gauges,which may just happen at the swap meet Saturday.I'm also going to be looking for a canton oil pan and pick up.....for cheap (of course).
