Hey Daniel, can a regular set of gauges out of a 72 be redone so the background is white and the lettering black and red?

Laine, yes it can be done! I'll just need to know what you
Want to be black or red. Get in touch with me and we can work out the details. Thanks! Daniel

Sounds good. I'm taking my wife and the Beagle to the beach for a couple of days. I'll be back in the shop on Wednesday. Get in touch with me and we will get it all worked out.
Thanks again! Daniel

Will do. The way I procrastinate, those couple of days work to my advantage! lol

I am back in the shop. Just let me know when you are ready!
Thanks! Daniel

I love the oil pressure gauge it fits the style of the other gauges in my 81 Camaro and worked on the first try with the detailed instructions. The NOS needles also really made my dash look new. :happy:

All of Gauge Marks products are top of the line. Also I have never had customer and technical service that are so professional, courteous and fast!!

Daniel really stands behind his work.:bowtie:

My delay was a possible last minute color change on the camaro. Now my face plates have some flash rust on them.
Should I just send you what I have? I bet I can give you at least a year to finish:D

I wish my job allowed that flexability!!:bowtie:

Another thing about finding someone who loves what he/she does. It's in the work. The quality is second to none.

That looks awesome !

Laine, man you did a great job of retoring those gauge faces. I appreciate the props!

lol @ french fries! Those bags are great for storing the gauge marks. I was looking for plain ones, but got a great deal on these that look like they would be used in a candy store. I've got a few thousand of these bags (without french fries) :p

Thanks again Laine. Let me know if you need help with the tach repair!
Daniel

WOW!!!!

ALright, time to get off my butt and get my stuff sent to you Daniel!!!!!!

Thank You Daniel! I had a vision and you made it come to life! I just hope it all works when I get it together! Stay tuned...;) :crazy:

Bumping this thread back to the top.
Thanks!
Daniel

You'll be glad to hear my tach still works Daniel, even after pinching it!:mad:
Appears pretty accurate also.:happy:
On the other hand, the temp doesn't. What should I check first on that?

I'm sure Chris will have his dash on here shortly!:cool:

Laine, glad to hear the tach is working. I just viewed your project thread, and the car looks fabulous!!

What is the temp gauge doing?

Absolutely nothing. It does peg to the right when turning the key though.

Laine disconnect the wire from your temp sending unit and see what happens????

Hi 77RS,
You were recommended by forum members, Ill try and make it short, On a 40 mile cruse to a show tach worked OK 72 z28, m22 and 4.10s I know at 70 mph that the rpms are around 3500 + I don't drive that hard, but on the way home at around 55-60 the tach is showing around 2100 so I know that wasn't correct I floored it and I took it up to 70 mph and the tach moved accordingly but slow and only up to around 2800 or so, it seams to be slow moving and 1500-2000 off or slow, do I make sence ,does this make sence to you, it is a bone stock z, points and all. I pretty good with monkeywrenching, just not familiar with these tach, my first thought was the tach filter or a bad ground, but OK in the morning and bad in the afternoon, go figure. THANKS for any info you may have............Garry

72 z28/m22/4.10s #s 1 of 652 build sheet :bowtie:

The early tachs (70-77) use a D'Arsonval meter and a small tach circuit. These meters are slower and less responsive than the bi-coil meters used in 78-81 Camaro. Even though the early tachs are slower, there isn't an extreme amount of response time as you described. The problem with your tach could be in the meter itself, or a combination of the meter and tach circuit. There is no way to know for sure what the problem is without testing the tach myself. If you would like to send it in for testing I can give you an accurate quote for repair. Just let me know how you would like to proceed and I will be more than happy to send you the shipping address.
Thanks!
Daniel

Sorry for he slow response, I was wondering if it could be the filter and or grnd wire, it all seems to be intact, I will be in touch soon and thanks for the response, noticed your in N.C. I was born and raised in Greenville N,C, been stuck in C.A. for 30+ years, cant seem to get out of here LOLOL, again thanks.................... Garry

Hello,
could you please tell me how much the oil gauge is ?
I want to install it in place of my clock.
thanx.

Daniel,

If I send my guages could you redo them in reverse? White face and black numbers and add the oil pressure guage? PM me on the cost if this is an option.

Thanks

The oil pressure gauge for 2nd gen Camaro is an electric gauge that accurately registers 0-80 PSI when used with the correct sending unit. The sending unit can be purchased at the major auto supply stores (Advance, Auto Zone, NAPA, etc...) for about $20. The oil gauge will install directly into the clock mount location with no alteration. Instructions for wiring and sending unit information are included.
The oil pressure gauge sells for $119.99 for 70-78 models; $129.99 for 79-81 models (A NOS plastic needle will be installed on the gauge for 79-81) If you provide a complete clock housing from any 70-81 Camaro as a core, the price will be reduced by $12. If your shipping address is anywhere in the USA, S&H is included. Paypal or USPS money order are the accepted form of payment.
Thank you!

Yes! The gauges can be painted white and have black markings at no additional charge. Pricing will vary depending on the work needed to be done. For example, if all of the gauges are working and are calibrated correctly, the cost will be less than if the gauges need repair and calibration. You can send in your gauges for testing and inspection so that I can give an accurate quote.
Thanks!
Daniel

Click on this link (http://nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=254984)to see gauges in white face. There are a couple of customers that have used the DIY packages to restore their own gauges with white face. Great work Chris and Laine!

I will get back with you soon on the oil gauge kit.
thanx. for your help

No problem at all.Just let me know when you're ready.
Thank you!
Daniel

Sent you a p.m.

Look up at post #20 for Laine's white face conversion.

Here is my conversion with an oil psi gauge. The oil psi gauge was a black one that was in my old cluster. I just painted a new face (I used another complete cluster for the faces so I could still drive my car) and Daniel provided me with the black letters.
