Should be if the harness is set up for factory gauges. You will need to run the separate tach wire (they sell one for points or HEI-not sure if it's in the harness) and need to run the air line separately.

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

Swapped bezels. Did you determine if the harness has the tach wiring in it and which distributor are you running (points or HEI)

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

I think all the correct wires are already in the new harness

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

Jonathan,

Are you planning on doing any others? If so, I would like to put an order in for one similar to this one without the choke.

Thanks
Joey

I have one more nice lens right now..that's the biggest issue is finding a nice lens since they aren't reproduced. Same 525 shipped if you're interested.

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

Yes, I am interested. Can you post a picture please? I would need it with the 80# oil and air pressure gauge.

Thanks again,

I agree,it's a nice dash.
This appears to be the same thing that you did. The air pressure guages only came in big trucks with air brakes. The guage face (not reproduced as stated) came in a big truck cluster and was removed and likely assembled in a 10-30 series dash bezel. Many of the big trucks did come with tach (as many had dump bodies with hydraulics and had recommended RPMs for proper pump pressure, etc.
Using this with an airbag system is becoming very popular and would be cool. Nice piece!

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

That is my hope. I just opted for the Air Ride system so my hope is to retain a factory look. My only problem is that I have two tanks and will only have one gauge. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

Other than hiding the other gauge in the glovebox...I don't have an idea...

Not sure if you could connect the two tanks to even out the pressure between them and get the one pressure reading...

I will get pics tomorrow....today was busier than expected I'm picking up another one as well that looks to be in perfect shape if you'd rather wait for me to get that one...will just need cleaned up tins and a new bezel...

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

Jonathan,
What about making the cluster with two pressure gauges and putting volts in the glovebox? If I have to have two gauges, I would like for them to be in the same place.

If nothing else, I could use a clock cluster and put both in the glovebox? Maybe a half bottom of one cluster mounted to the top of the gb? Sorry to open air so much thought but I want to make sure and keep all sales communication in the thread.

Thanks for the help,
Joey

I can't really add another one due to the lense not having a second air pressure spot. You could possibly do that with a white faced setup that lets you make a custom lens but you'd need two sets to get two air pressure labels....

If you were going to hide one I'd do aftermarket since it's cheaper and they come with mounts for single gauges...


But honestly, the easiest solution is to run a line between the two tanks. It will allow the pressure to equal out between the two tanks and you would just need the one pressure gauge then. It's not like plumbing bags together where you have air transfer issues so it's no problem to run like that.

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

I have aftermarket gauges and don't like them.

I will just take your sugestion and run a line to each tank then one line off that to the gauge. Problem solved.

Sounds good. Here are pictures of the current parts I have. SUPER SUPER nice 80lb gauge and air pressure. Lense will need some polishing and likely will still have scratches showing because the main scratches (pictured the best I can) are inside around the lettering and I don't want to buff off the lettering I am getting another tach/air dash in soon and will see if that lens is better...

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

I'll be using a better tach also than the one pictured.

Re: Restored original Tach dash with Air pressure

OK, thank you for posting. I hope the other lens is better. That one looks pretty scratched.

It is but the picture makes it look a lot worse than it actually is...that's an extreme closeup In the overall view you can't even see them but I didn't want you thinking it was a perfect lens...
