Gauges...

Ok i found the gauges i will be using. http://www.striracing-usa.com/pro_d_e.htm I really like these ones, Kinda like defi but look much better.
I found them in Modified mag, just gotta talk to a distributer this week. There are 2 of them like 10 miles from my house.

I wouldn't care if I kept the dummy lights or not. I monitor my gauges rather regularly. I'd like to upgrade the stock gauges, to match my other autometer ultra-lite gauges. How did you get the speedo to work? which fuel level gauge did you need to get? Any pics of the back? I'd only need things like the turn signals, high-beams and whatnot to still function. I don't need the low oil light (doesn't even work) ABS (doesn't have) battery failure light, or any of the others. I could even just wire those in with a capacitor and led bulb if needed.

The speedo is electronic. You have to buy the sender separately. The sender attaches to the transmission where the factory speedo cable goes. Then you run the wires to the speedo. Calibrate the speedo and your're done.

I never had a fuel level gauge. Never missed it. I wired up the low level warning light.

I couldn't find pics of the back so I'll take some more and post them.

how did you retain the stock fuel level light? I'd still like to keep the fuel gauge though, I jsut notice Autometer makes many different ones for fords, or chev's, or whatnot. I also don't know the volt range the gauge needs.

I rewired all the dummy lights including the fuel level lamp. If you have a service manual, it shows the voltage that the factory fuel level gauge operates at. It think the closest one Autometer makes is for Chrysler vehicles. The only other option is to get one for GM cars and install Autometer's fuel level sender in the tank. I know a guy who did that. He rigged it up on the factory pump hanger and it worked perfectly.
