so many great ideas.....gotta make a decision ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Looking to do the 3-hole setup with the quad gauges and center tach like gringoloco originally described.

Question: I currently have a 7 hole instrument cluster, do I need to get a 3-hole front replacement bezel and simply swap it out, or do I need to find an entire 3-hole instrument cluster?

Wow, 13 year old thread.

In my cluster I filled the bottom holes with Transmission temp, A/F gauge, clock and vacuum.

Found this pic from gringoloco, which I think answers my question:

My original pics are gone so I will post it again. My first fuel gauge was bad, needle would stick, so I sent it back and got another. I liked it there so well I tried to get another and they were out of stock. I ended up with a fuel pressure and a oil temp 3 3/8.

Looks similar to the gauge install I did. I have finished it since the picture was done.

What's the little red light near the light switch?

I used a complete 3-hole, though you *might* get away with using a 7-hole tin. Usually you can find the 3-hole clusters for a song, as they are somewhat undesirable.
