The seat belt warning lamp wiring connection point on the dash plug is now my brake warning lamp connection point

The high mounted diesel type warning lamp housing has one standard size connector like the SES light plus a dedicated smaller connector that will work no where else. They are a good source for this wiring pigtail if you want to independently wire both warning lamps.
i moved my brake light to from the fuel gauge over to where the speedometer is i think i used the used the 4x4 lock light for it i also re-pin the connector every thing works !! the elec. speedo, tacho, oil, temp all work great !!! for the time being i took apart the old fuel and oil gauge swapped the faces over to see if the repined gas gauge worked ,but im still looking for a factory left hand side lower gas gauge gas , that will fit out of a later 81-91 C/k truck the only thing is that i pulled off the camaro needle to replace it with the orginal fuel gauge needle but its not long enough to go into the spline of the camaro tacho i put the camaro needle back on but i had to reposition it a few times because it was showing the wrong RPM im concerned it may come off the spline i dont wanna push the needle to hard !!! i wanna repace it with a needle similar to the trucks gas/ speedometer one!!!!
