Mudder67 has a full sweep of autometers in his dash....he posted the pic the other day i believe. For the bottom row of guages, i have found that bouth 2" and 2-1/16" guages fit fine, and i have a 3-3/8" tach in my center tach hole, and it fits great. If you want to replace the speedometer and fuel guage, i beilieve they are both 5" holes...beter check with a ruler though. I couldn't afford Autometers, so i used cheaper Sunpros and i am quite happy with them for how inexpensive they were
![]() BTW, nice shifter. Is that a B&M light truck megashifter?

This is the only pic I have on file (travelling right now). The bottom row are filled with Autometer Silver Comps ( the best in my opinion). They are 2 1/8" gauges. I also have the tach as you can see. I still need to mount it inside the bezel, but have not got around to it yet. I painted the stock speedo, fuel to match.

![]() here are mine: Autometer ultra lites 2 1/16" on the bottom and 5" tach. I'm going to be getting the speedo soon (I didn't get it at the time I did the rest cause I thought I was going to go electric speedo for a future LT1 conversion, but have decided not to do it, so I'll be getting a mechanical speed soon) I'm using an electic oil pressure guage. Really didn't run into problems doing it, though it did take awhile to get all of the wiring up to my standards. I'm planning on repainting the guage bezel when I get the speedo....I think it's too much silver, so I'll be painting it black again. |

Autometer
Pro Comps......... 5" 3 3/8" and 2 5/8. You will need to d a small amount of trimming in the bottom holes for the 2 5/8 guages. Dremel works great.

Someone please post a color coded wiring hookup for these setups.
I've been trying to hook these up, rather confusing. Thanks in advance.
