Reviews are excellent and they have a 5 year warranty. Not sure about the serviceability of the individual gauges but sending units are cheap and easy to take care of and usually the cause.

 

How big are they? Where to get?

4 3/8" hole, 4 11/16" overall

 

Been away for longer than I realized, is the construction finished or are you taking a break? Would sure like to see a picture of the new dash gauges if you have them mounted.

 

I have been distracted lately by my other addiction, shooting.
Also with the holidays coming up I decided to divert funds to take a trip to visit family for Christmas. Hopefully Santa will bring the gauges for Christmas lol.

 

Finally getting back at working on the Bronco thanks to Gembone for helping with getting the hood off safely.
Pulled the engine today, engine bay is pretty dusty so it will need some attention.

 

looks like it came out nice and clean

 

that really does look outstanding.

 

nice job cant wait to see it finished

 

Spent some time this weekend and got the engine bay cleaned up and ran the wire harnesses ran the way I wanted to.



Also worked on the engine, I got most of the accessories on and then realized the power steering pump is misaligned. Turns out the new water pump mounting points for the power steering pump are too long, so I will need to grind them down, ugh.


A few things to do before the engine can go in, I need to seal up all the unused holes in the firewall and get the heat shield installed. Another thing I want to do is replace the reverse light switch, it works but the connector is loose.

 

you didnt put a 460 in?

 

Nope, built up a 400, it will be getting a remote turbo once it is well broken in, after about 2000 miles or so.

 

Wow this build is coming along beautifully. The interior is amazing, hope I can get mine to look that good one day.


Really sorry about the engine, tragic story really.


I was meaning to ask you when I was following this thread, what kind of paint gun are you using?

 

This engine is tight!

I pulled out the drill to prime it today, the 18 volt barely had enough power to run the pump so I pulled out the 1/2" plug in drill to get the job done.

I connected my multimeter to the sending unit out of curiosity, it held pressure under 5 ohms for over 10 minutes after I stopped running the drill, gotta love that!

 

Awesome build thread, just spent two days reading the whole thing- LOVE IT
