so among some of the modifications im doing to my 71 is putting in a 4th gen t/a dash. since im not going to use the PCM or BCM i need to make new gauges i am modifying the original cluster to suit my needs. Eventually i will be using 3 3/8" autometer sport comp speedo and 2 1/16" fuel, water temp, oil pressure and voltage gauges.

i put some captions on the images, but its just way too many to upload onto here so go check it out

I see 4 holes.....

So I'm guessing the Speedo is dead center with no tach ??
Looks interesting. Keep us posted. :bowtie:

yea i dont have a hole saw for the speedo. i have a hole drilled for dead center of that gauge. since im going to run an auto i wont need a tach...i tried every configuration i could and i couldnt get all six gauges in there. the faint black outline is the actual gauge pod outline once the cover is snapped on. the 2 1/16 actually measured 2.030 so i could used a 2" hole saw. i need to get a gauge so i can measure it to figure out how big to drill the holes.
