Hi guys,
Getting ready to send my gauges to North Hollywood to be cleaned up. My car started out as a '71 914/4, but will be a steel flared fender car with a '93 964 motor and a 915 gearbox.
Here's what I'm thinking for gauges;
1. Combo gauge with oil pressure on top and fuel level on bottom. This will also have warning lights for: engine warning, , alternator light and idiot light
2. 8K tach
3. 180 mph speedo
I'm also getting the 914AP center console with the standard 3 gauges: clock, oil temp and volt meter.
So I know that on the combo gauge some folks put 3 or even 4 gauges. Anyone have any comments or suggestions before I take the plunge and send my gauges in?
Thanks for your advice.
Mike

If you're using the engine management system from the 964, you'll need the tach that goes with it.

I run a older 911 tach, i forget which year. Somewhere in the late '70 to mid '80 range. I don't recall if i needed an adapter to run in with the DME ...
I also run a stock 993 combi instrument for the oil temp and pressure and various other things, including the check engine light.
And i run a 944 speedo.
993 gauge:

I would consider a shift light, too. I bought one from this place and I really like it.
