Re: Daverods project 66
 

Time to take a ride in it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I had the same seat in my 2003 Silverado

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I bought the seats a while ago. I'm thinking it was a 99 silverado. :uhmk: I've got a low hump in that truck. The center bracket was the perfect height. Two out of 6 holes lined up.

:mm: This is'nt Texas.:lol: It's minus out with about a 15 mile wind:smoke: Good day to tear into my dash.

Yeah I know. I had to wear a sweater till like 2pm.....haha

Re: Daverods project 66
 

i just now took mine off

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:metal:Great looking seat. Looks a lot like the one I just put in. I'll agree that it is a real nice swap. Hated the subzero weather . I do like the white stuff comin' down now. Happy sleddin'

Re: Daverods project 66
 

What is this White stuff you guys talk about. Only white stuff we get down here is the kind you have to break up with a razor blade.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

after that they prolly took out there tweezers and told you to drop the pants and bend over ..........ploink outch

that's too funny. You guys are crazy. remember Just say NO.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

umm what r yall talking about :D

Re: Daverods project 66
 

were talking about man stuff Gage. You'll understand later in years.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

hahahahaha
im joking
but im sure you knew that

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Swapped out my 64 dash with light for a 66 dash with guages and a tech. Can't seem to figure out how to hook up the alt gage and the oil pressure guage. My old gage had one wire for the gen. and one wire for the oil. My new oil gage needs a mech hook up. I don't know where to hook up the alternator. I used the wiring harness off the 66 for the gages but the engine harness is still for a 64. Oh ya then when I was switching the temp. sensor from a two wire light sensor to a one wire gage sensor I broke the part holding the sensor. It screwed in to far and hit the thermosta.:waah: No idea where to get that part. or even what it is. The picture sucks. sorry. I'm wondering if I can't just adapt a oil sensor from a 283. Would it just screw into where the oil sensor for the oil light was. It's not long enough and the threads are wrong size?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave I just want you to know I just waisted my 1000th post on you. I dont know what to tell you about the oil. My 64 had the Mech dash, Not sure if he switched it out since he put a 350 in it. And I have a painless harness so I'm not help now.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave, I think the oil is pressure and water is temp....not interchangable. That pic looks like a mechanical temp gauge...once broken they are done but can be replaced. It happened on an Autometer gauge I had.

The dash gauge pac also has an amp gauge, not a volt gauge. To hook it up is complicated. It is patched in the positive flow between the battery and alternator after the entire load of accessories(dash, lights,radio,etc.) I asked in the electrical section a while back and someone gave me a cool diagram....I never hooked mine up!!:lol:

good luck

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Damn I'm screwed.;)
I found the drawing Trash thanks

Re: Daverods project 66
 

My oil gage I want to hook up is mech. The oil sensor part on the engine is electic. I can't find a mech sensor all I have is one off a 283. All the oil sensors I've seen say they are for gages but they have an electic hook up?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

you might be able to change the guts of the mechanical oil to an electric one in the dash itself there usually just held in the fasia with two screws
you just need to find an electric one that has about the same sweep and works on the electric sensor

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If your using a mechanical oil gauge you don't need a sensor. This would probably work for you.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

This is exactly what I would do. Just remove the electric sender from your engine and run the new copper line to your in dash gauge. Done.

The H2O temp gauge will likely require some re-wiring as will the ammeter. Just print out one of the wiring diagrams posted on here and compare it to what you have and change accordingly.. It might be easier to purchase the correct harnesses, but that depends on availability of funds.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks guys I think I have the oil pressure ( new mech line) and the water temp figured out( use one of the old wires). The alt. I have a good idea of what to do at least I have a good drawing.
Any ideas on where to get a new part that the water temp sender screws into? It's just below the housing for the thermostat. It's between the housing for the thermo and the block. I 'm not even sure what to call it. It has a water connection on the other side. And even less of an idea where to find one.
