Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
So I looked through the whole thread again and did not see it, but how do I change the odometer reading? I messed with it a little but it felt like I was going to break it.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I don't know exactly how to explain it, but you need to take it out and just play with it a bit. You need to be sure to line up the little tabs on the bottom when you put it back together though. I think as long as you don't get too aggressive with it, you won't break it.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo

Thank you for your work on this conversion.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I was the one to suggest the standard motor products socket. I chose those sockets because I couldn't find a source for the push in metal sockets and I wanted to wire in a "cruise light on" indicator that requires 2 wires, one 12+, and the ground supplied from the cruise module once it's engaged. These sockets are a somewhat flexible plastic and are 4 lug. You only use 2 lugs so I took an exacto knife and trimmed off 2 lugs. The sockets use 194 bulbs and I needed to make a harness for the back of the cluster anyway because of all of the changes, Voltmeter, 8000rpm tach, electric speedo, VSS input, cruise input,etc. I used green 194 style leds for dash lights and it looks great at night, only problem is the leds don't dim properly. They start to dim and then drop out, but for my aging eyes I love it!

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
did you try these sockets in the standard instrument panel lighting socket holes?
i like your idea of the cruise light. i put a "check engine" light in one of those holes. i cruise would look good in the other!! thanks |

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Yes the socket worked in all the holes. As a suggestion, order just one and see how it works out for you!

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Hey Eric,
Picked up a 97 S-10 cluster at the junk yard today and now I need your template kit. Do you still have any available? Also had a couple questions. Will the LS tach output run the factory tach and is the LS temp sensor the same resistance as the older chevy to run the temp gauge? Been reading your threads for a couple of years and your creativity has inspired many areas of my 71 lsx build. You the man dude ![]() Thanks, Curt |

As for the tach, they will work with the output from the PCM, but you will need to change the 'tach resolution' in the tune from 6 to 3. LS engines run on a 4 cylinder mode and changing the resolution will double it to an 8 cylinder. The temp sender has been the topic of MANY threads, but what I usually do if keeping the stock gauge is to use the stock sender that was made for it. This requires drilling and tapping the head to accept the larger sender, but it's not all that hard to do and it's the best way to assure the gauge is going to be accurate.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Captainfab is making the mounting plate and rear cover boxes, he makes some really nice parts.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Hi Curt, ls1nova is correct on drilling the head for the original sender. I was reluctant and my water pump has a nice flat boss on the forward area that worked great. As i've stated in prior posts that when i was done my temp gauge read about 3/4 scale as the LS runs hotter than my original 68 small block. Once it was installed and at 3/4 scale i cut the wire close to the sender, temporarily installed a variable resistor and dialed in some additional resistance and dialed the temp gauge back to 1/2 scale. Removed the resistor and read the value. It was 4 ohms, so i soldered in a 4 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor inline. All is good!
