got my refurbished gauges from Palo Alto. ran the new speedo cable. took me and my wife longer than the 15 minutes someone said it would take. now i just need to install the two new senders and figure out which wire goes to which gauge.

Those look great How come you decided on no 'red-line'? How long of a turnaround did Palo Alto take?

it is the one that Palo Alto sells. I'll take a closer picture when I can. It is the same as in Qarl's web page. try there.

i didn't decide on the no red line. it just came back that way. maybe i should have specified something. actually, i thought they'd send back my gauges, but i think these are different. either that, or they REALLY refurbished them. my markings to help with reconnection are gone, too.

it took Palo Alto a couple of months, I think. I didn't care as the car was bundled up for the winter. MAN IS IT HARD TO START WHEN IT IS COLD!!

heh...you're telling me. took me 2 minutes to get the car to the point where it would idle on its own...and i started it yesterday!

damn you two are killing me......aaron hit me up for a guage when you get those made........how hard is it to get that oil pressure guage working?

hard to start why, mine fires right up with one or two cranks, even when it below 30 out

Mine only takes a couple of seconds to crank up. It was in the teens the other day and it started on the second attempt. Thats with dual carbs....
