worked out pretty good and now it will be easier to pull when I need to :-) and I won't have to remember what wire goes where, and the conecter has plenty of room for expansion

I also doubled out on the power and grounds to help power handleing

For $6, you can get the white faces for you speedo and fuel guage from the company on ebay. And that inculdes shipping.

I may just do that, but the gas gauge is broken and the spedo bounces llike crazy even after I oiled the cable

an ATX cable....never thought of that!! Thanks for the idea :cool:

What's an atx cable? Also, could you use the sockets from the sidemarkers to fit the dash light outlets? You could get rid of that darned printed circuit board if it works.
Looks good.

I knew someone else would think of this. :D I haven't had to rewire my dash but I did install a tach in the center hole of the dash. I used a molex connector for it. :metal:

BTW ATX plug is the power wire for a PC that has the atx form factor. A molex conector is the 4 prong plug that plugs into hard drives and cdrom drives.
