Re: Gauge cluster upgrade
If you haven't bought your temp sender yet, I just bought mine from www.lectriclimited.com. Found them searching for temp gauge info on here.

Re: Gauge cluster upgrade
I bought my mechanical oil gauge copper tube and fittings from Classic Parts. It works great on my 1981 and will fit 67-72.

Re: Gauge cluster upgrade
Having a hard time finding this adaptor. The small size thread is 5/16-24.
Does anyone know that the gauge cluster thread is? |

Re: Gauge cluster upgrade
I know that changing those pins has to work, but it didn't for me. I put a cluster in my 68 GMC that was a brand new [rebuild] by a member on here that does real nice work. I followed the instructions to the T and even took more time than I should have doing it. I had a different cluster plug and changed over to and used some pins from it to the ones that had to be added. When I got done all that worked was the speedo and it made a noise every time it came to a 0 on the tenths side! I only drove it about ten miles after I put the tac/vac in it [and a tilt at the same time] but it is next on the list to come to the shop for frame-off/swap rebuild as a short truck any way.So maybe then I will get it figured out. I have another truck in the shop now plus another inline to be built, and I have tach dashes for them all So maybe I can find out what my problem is/was with the other. I know it has been done to death, other have done it right? Jim

Re: Gauge cluster upgrade
What does the clip that connects to the temp sending unit look like?
