oldblue1968chevy · 04-03-2011, 10:38 PM

I don't see any pics

VA72C10 · 04-03-2011, 10:48 PM

on the printed circuit....it's best to get a new one....

it could be fixed but likely will have an issue somewhere else

oldblue1968chevy · 04-03-2011, 10:53 PM

pictures!

bath with scotch brite green pad 400 grit and a quickie spray job in the garage, what a saturday lol

oldblue1968chevy · 04-03-2011, 10:55 PM

gonna put my real chevy (GM) tailgate on even though its rusted to heck its the semi right color and a heck of a lot stronger than that crappy taiwan gate on there now

oldblue1968chevy · 04-03-2011, 11:18 PM

I'll try to get pictuers..

The tach circuit and any other 7 hole circuit would be the same, right?

So could I save $ by getting another used one? Or are the bolts on that pretty tight too?

They sometimes come off easily, but many times you'll separate the plastic taking the bolts off...

And most of the time a super nice used goes for as much or more than a new repro....so I'd just get a new one...

oldblue1968chevy · 04-03-2011, 11:43 PM

Yeah, mines separating..

I need: New bezel, lense, printed circuit, spraypaints for rusted metal surfaces.

May repaint the old bezel for now and just buy the circuit the rest can be done in the future lol I just want that tach and guages in my truck lol

i need a under hood wiring harness for 7 hole gauge setup too right?

Yep, need the correct fusebox/ harness.

And the tach harness also.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-04-2011, 06:32 PM

Fusebox too?!?!?!!?

Just the harness under the hood, or under the dash also? (I know i'll need to hook up a vacumn line and a oil pressure line)

Hubscrub · 04-04-2011, 09:33 PM

looks good, maybe just paint the front too?

*87 chevy silverado* · 04-04-2011, 09:51 PM

^^^^ x2

usmcchevy · 04-04-2011, 10:28 PM

Looks good!

matchstick · 04-05-2011, 07:07 AM

There's a wiring diagram on here that shows you where to relocate the pins in your harness so you don't have to change the whole harness out. It's pretty simple to do. We did it to my dads truck.
BTW the truck is looking good. It's good seeing you stay after it like you have.

JasonBird · 04-05-2011, 12:28 PM

nice blue color!

oldblue1968chevy · 04-06-2011, 09:08 PM

Gf helped me clean it up (windex windows and put some OLD rainx i found too) pics later

oldblue1968chevy · 04-06-2011, 09:09 PM
