Does anyone have a link of the wiring for the gauges in a 67? I started my Autometer conversion last night and was just wondering which or IF I can splice into the existing wires. For instance... the two wire off the stock volt meter... can I use those? What about the oil gauge?
Or am I just scrapping all of it except the turn signal lights??
Anyhow... I pulled it all apart and the nest step was to grind off the bezel of one of the gauges. I chose the voltmeter, like Edbert did, and of course just barely nicked the lense... pisssssed me off. Anyway... after getting the bezel off and lining it up to the back of the bezel... I wasn't please with the appearance. I then made the choice to grind out the bezel in order to drop in the gauge from the front side. WOW... what a difference. I'm not sure if I've seen it done this way... I'm sure someone has. But it really looks good to me. So I proceeded to handle the other three small pod mounts and had equal success. Then the 5" holes.... same deal. And after test fitting the tach into the hole... I won't even have to grind out the metal back piece because the gauge fits beautifully.
So this thread has a dual purpose... I need the wiring opinions... and I wanted to let people know that there is an option to mounting your autometers than the popular one seen on line.
Yes... I'll get some pics when I get a chance. Ha ha.....
