This is what I did today
I got tired of playing around with the factory gauges not working, so I thought I'd try these cheapo Sunpro gauges. They fit into the holes perfect and already have the mounting brackets on the backside. I had to cut here and there, but the results are shown in the pictures. Any yes, that is a Camaro tach.......

Re: This is what I did today
Looks good! I've been thinking about getting the SunPros for my 67 project. Around here they are about 1/2 the price of the AutoMeters.

Re: This is what I did today
Just finished hooking it up in the truck, and the gauges all work great. Glad that's over with. Now I don't have to worry about those factory ones and the circuit board. I like these Sunpros. Simple in design and low price.

Re: This is what I did today
I did local searching at all the parts stores 1st, to see what they looked like in person. Most all the store wanted around $40.00 for the 3 gauge setup and $20.00 for the vacuum gauge. All the stores only had the white ones. I wanted the black. After looking on the web, I got these off Amazon.com and you even get free shipping and no tax added. They were $35.00 for the 3 and $15.00 for the vacuum. When I put them in the cart to buy, they offer you an Amazon Visa card, and if you except, they take $30.00 off the price for your 1st order using that card. They say the price will be shown on your bill, when it comes in. If that's the case, I'll have only paid $15.00 for the whole setup. I don't plan on using that high interest card though. I'll just cut it up.....
The part numbers are CP8218 & CP7955. I got them in 4 days. Only thing I don't care for, is the lighting. The light sockets are kinda lame and give out a yellowish light. I'm most likely going to replace them with white leds......Here's the web site and hope this helps anyone interested in these. They are a cheap alternative to the higher end gauges. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=br_ss_hs...s=sunpro+gauge steve
