Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Nothing OE. If one comes up, I will let you know. OE vac gauges are getting hard to find in good working condition and almost always need a restoration on the face which can be done.
Let me know if you find one that needs face restoration and I can get that done. Otherwise, there is the aftermarket ones. Thank you, Tom |

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Have a problem with my speedometer . I replaced the cable when it broke and replaced it with a new one but then the speedo started making noise and the speedo was jumping so I purchased another new cable and installed, the noise has been reduced but it hasn't gone away so now I'm thinking it might be the speedo itself . I had the speedo set to zero when My truck was completed . It now has 9000 miles on it . The miles are still adding up but the noise is driving me crazy. What would happen if I gave it a shot of WD. Or another solution might feel to purchase anothe speedometer if you can match the miles . Suggestions thanks Rob

I prefer dry or wet graphite on the speedometer cable and on the back of the speedo where the cable hooks up. It will stay in place much better than WD. WD will/should provide a temporary fix for the noise but graphite is much better as a lubricant. If you wanted to send me your speedometer, I could hook it up to my calibration machine and check it out. Most likely the frame bushings are wore. This will cause noise as well as needle bounce. If you want a replacement speedometer, I can put a nice one together for you. I can set mileage to whatever you like. It will be calibrated, quite and no needle bounce. You can send me a PM if preferred to discuss details. Thank you, Tom |

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Hey Tom... Here it is ... It finally made it to the truck... I decided not to use my original 67 Restored Bezel but went with the Chrome Aftermarket Bezel... we are getting closer to getting it all hooked up...

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Hello all,
Just wanted to make an announcement that I will begin doing cluster restorations again. A few things have changed though. I do not stock too much inventory now because of space limitations. I will be limiting the amount of work I do at one time. If you are interested in having work done, let me know and I can give you specific details on work and pricing. Thank you to all that are interested in having cluster work done or have had work done in the past. Take care, Tom |

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
We have a original cluster with a tach needs some work and we don't know if it works or not. How much to check it all out make sure it works and what resister does it need to be installed with heI distributor? The truck we are putting it in didn't have a tach previously. So what do we need to do with the plug? If anything. Will take some pictures of it soon. Please let me know ball park pricing, etc. Thanks. Also don't know how this forum works with messages and such am new to board although been a member for some time. Am learning. Thanks again.

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Yes it can be done. It will depend on if you want all OE parts or aftermarket or a combination of both. I have had good luck with the aftermarket tachs. The OE tachs are over 40 + years old and most of them have some issues.
You need both tins, new lens and new circuit board as well as the tach I also have the ability to test OE tachs. Let me know what you are looking to accomplish and I should be able to help you out. Thank you, Tom |

Re: Reconditioned gauge Clusters F/S
Is an OE tach repairable if you test and it's no good or just best to go with one of our after market tachs?

I am not sure if it would be worth the effort to put modern day tach guts in an original tin? It would be the best of both worlds and LS compatible would be a bigger bonus ![]() As for aftermarket tachs, I use Counterpart brand. I have sold many in my restorations and have had no issues that I am aware of. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info. Tom |
