jahjah Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Serious question here, so you just hollowed out the cluster right and juat ran wires to everything? whatcha gonna do about fuel level too? I have wanted to do one of those for so long, can you get a pic of the backside with the wiring shown so i can get an idea how involved the wiring is?

RWDAddict Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Have to run new sensors for oil and water, have to buy the correct unit for the spedo, tach is easy, and fuel that's going to be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pure_insanity Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 fuel, i think,--isnt that bad. iirc, most aftermarket fuel level senders read from 0-180 ohms or 90-0 ohms. im willing to bet ours reads the same as one of the two and then its just a matter of picking out a gauge that would read in the same direction as ours. the difficult part would be calibrateing it to our tank if its not right. i feel like you could add some resistance to it inline with some resistors to make it show full but not sure what to do about the other way. maybe someone else has experience in this area and can chime in. as for the speedo, you say you have to get the right unit for it. where did you get the unit and which one works with our speedo cable?

Komeuppance Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 FSM specs the fuel level sender at: FULL 1-5 ohmsEMPTY 103-117 ohms -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinturbo Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 u can call autometer and just have a gauge made that reads the same ohms full/empty as our cars. As for the speedo, when i did mine on the porsche i just opted for a GPS powered speedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim si Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Empty/Full, 73 Ohms/8-12 Ohms, 2 1/16 in. Part Number: ATM-4315 this is the one i used.it comes off of full pretty quick but other than that works pretty good.lol,i can never seem to keep a car on full anyway.i thought about changing the sender in the tank but it hasnt really been a prob.since it hits empty before i run out.what size are your gages?they seem to have a decent amount of room in there.

juice_2 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 you should have bought a self calibrating gauge don't need to change the sender unit then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Unless I'm mistaken, the Autometer speedos have a calibration feature that takes the ppm [pulses-per-mile] of whatever sensor you use off the trans/driveline and figures the proper calibration over a 2-mile test drive. There are a few writeups on muscle-car forums of folks who've added an Autometer speedo with magnetic pickups on the driveshaft, a quick search should yield you some benefitting results. Cluster looks good, btw. Carbon isn't my flavor of choice, but it still looks clean and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
