I'm trying to work out what to do for gauges for a /6 conversion. I've been chatting with Mark about building a triple gauge for oil pressure, oil temp and fuel. My question is do I really need an oil pressure gauge for a street car or is the idiot light adequet? I think an ammeter is just a novelty and I'm not crazy about a quad gauge as it looks too busy.
I have a NOS combo gauge for a /4 motor and I was contemplating just updating the oil temp gauge portion with a matching sender for temp telemtry. My other alternative is sending my NOS combo gauge (I hate to sacrafice a NOS gauge) as a core and having a triple gauge made by Vintage USA. What is the combo gauge I've attached worth? Thinking of maybe selling it and sourcing a core for my triple gauge. Any opinions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Kev |

I have the stock 911 temp and pressure (combo gauge) and the fuel gauge is where the radio is in most cars. Temp and pressure are essential for a 911 motor.
Here's a link to the fuel gauge plate I made... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=59512 |
