Hi guys, been slowly tinkering on the ’58. Got her running but don’t keep it going too long since the water temp gauge is not working.
I went and bought a cheap gauge at Pep Boys today, but it turns out the end that goes into the block is too long and hits something on the inside, so I can’t even get the fitting to the threads.
What gauges have you guys used for your replacements? I think i’ll need a fuel gauge as well, since it does not seem accurate and moves constantly.
Hey Cyclone, just got around to buying the new gauges. Curious about the wiring though. These gauges come with a bit extra wiring than the original had. Do you have a wiring diagram or a quick write up on how you wired everything? Thanks man!
Its easy, just look at the pic I have of the back of the cluster.
Each gauge gets 12v power (red) one to ground (black), & one to each sensor. Run the red to any accessory power wire off the ign switch. Of course, the volt meter only has 2 wires (no sensor)
The lights are the same for ground, with the white going to the original gauge illumination wire from the headlight switch. If I remember, it was a green wire with a bullet connecter.
