Gauge Mounting Advice/Ideas

[MARKDTN]

Don't take this the wrong way but underdash gauge pods in a truck with a gauge dash are a huge turn off to me. When I see that I see no pride of ownership. So I am strongly in the "fix what ya got" camp. If you have a high amp alternator you may consider swapping from ammeter to voltmeter. There are threads on using a square body voltmeter.

And yes, gauge dash wiring is different from warning light wiring on all GM vehicles. Mid 80s bought a cluster with a tach for a friends '79 Cutlass and just stuck it in only changing the oil and temp sending units. It fried the tach.
