question bout gauge cluster....

[Kaotik Kustumz]

ok heres the deal...
i got a '86 chevrolet lwb had 305 w/ 700r4 factory...
now has 350 w/ 700r4...
stock factory gauges are long gone now and am going upgrade with some from a '91 burban cause it has the electronic speedo (swapping engine and tranny for a 5.3 w/ 4l60e combo)...
ok now i wanna swap the fuel gauge out with the factory tach option and move the fuel gauge to the lower left corner where the factory clock was at....

so now what all do i need to do o make this work correctly just like the factory would?

please any info would be GREATLY appreciated

Ok....well, I just sold my last 90-91 gauge cluster so I'm not sure on one thing.....check to see IF the printed circuit has a provision for the fuel gauge going to the quartz clock location at the lower left-if its there and just not used, you should be able to add both the fuel gauge and tach with no problem-you'll have to trim out the housing with a dremel to make it nice.

If the printed circuit does not route the fuel gauge to that spot....you'll have to re-pin the fuel gauge independant of the instrument cluster plug-in.
