Re: [Chevelle-list] gauge conversion
In my factory gauged 72 El Camino I pulled the inst cluster and sent it off and had it completely re-done, including switching the clock over to quartz, this was pretty straight forward. Just had a slight problem hooking the amp gauge up to the late model alternator. Have a after market oil pressure gauge under dash. Do not like this set up. So on the 1972 Monte Carlo which was a idiot light setup I purchased a 1972 factory gauge cluster, wiring harness from M&H Wiring, and sent the cluster off had it re-done and a volt meter installed, clock over to quartz. Installed it with no problem with wiring, got a Auto Meter oil pressure gauge and sending unit and a pillar pod to put the gauge in, this I really like. If you would like a picture contact me off list. D.R. Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Great question. I have been pondering the same question. My problem is that I have a gauge kit (that came in the trunk of the car when I baught it)but I don't know if it works. My dilema is whether to install the untested gauge kit and switch wiring harnesses or just get the idiot light to guage conversion and use the harness already in the car. Either way, its going to cost some moneydamn. The other bummer of it iswhy didn't GM have an oil pressure gauge in 70? I think this is probably the most important thing to watch. Does anybody make a gauge conversion kit that has a "stock looking" oil pressure gauge. I'd rather have that than a stupid clock. Sorry for the rant, I'm just perplexed.
