Now that looks much better!! LOL. One think that caught my eye. Is there a way to mount them behind the black faceplate? I think they would blend in even better. They do match pretty good.

I've parted out several squares where people had done that. Never seen one that appealed to me or even remotely looked good compared to the OE gauges. Replace all the gauges or none of them. The mix and match stuff looks bad imho.

This guy actually has them mounted to the black plastic trim that is behind the bezel itself....
Once you put the bezel back on they look pretty damn sweet to me....
Just looking to see how it's done the best way....

You might take a look at autometer pro comp. Its what I went with because they match the factory stuff with the yellow, black, and white theme. But just take care with the old plastic gauge pod back there, they seem to get very weak and break very easily. Often they crack around the screw holes. I had to go get another one from the boneyard.

Hey bro could you tell or show how to wire up the tach and how to put the fuel gauge in the tach?

Tachs with the fuel gauge were factory installed in the big trucks. I'll have to look at mine, but i know it's only 3 wires. Ground, power and distributor. I'll get you a pic of mine tomorrow.

Ok. Thought you were talking about the truck tachs. Camaro gauges look good in there too.
