yes this is a period dash guage i have, it matches my silver dot guages. I have an oil press. and AMPS both matching, so i liked the idea of using them both.

This guage has two approx. 10ga. ring hookups on the back, and running in circuit would make sense to me. one red/white dash wire, one solid red wire.

Didn't realize it was a foolish thing to do. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

But it sure looks cool! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)


What if the battery was relocated to the trunk? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
