My '71 doesn't appear to have a temp guage or idiot light. How are we supposed to know if the car is overheating? Is there an idiot light that I'm overlooking?

You need a matched set with a gauge and sender.
We do those all the time, it usually costs around $90. Replaced the temp gauge in this one: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=86252 Or you could step up to a quad gauge: (IMG:http://inlinethumb22.webshots.com/41941/2247316980057582025S500x500Q85.jpg) |

That's exactly what I need. |

That's exactly what I need. Go here: http://members.aol.com/bigmarkdesign/products They start at $265 with your fuel gauge core. We have some cores that we can use as well. If you already have some VDO gauges, we can use them as well and save you some money. We have built hunderds of these! Thanks all Alot of guys think that is too much money, but NH speedo charges $500.00 for one. The retail cost of the gauges guts alone is almost $100.00. Mark |
