Gauges for 66

js66coupe · Apr 10, 2010

I'm putting a 408W in my 66 coupe. What should I do about gauges? I'd like to use the factory style dash but use aftermarket 12v gauges. Is there a company that makes a quality replacement setup or am I best off just fitting my own gauges in the dash? I'm partial to AutoMeter but will consider other quality electrical gauges.

Also, what about fuel level? Can I use the factory sender with an aftermarket gauge? What is the sender resistance?

Thanks.

I used Speethut gauges on mine, used an aftermarket bezel though. I like the transducer style senders better than the cheap stuff autometer uses.

Plus you can totally customize them any way you want.

Gauges, Custom Gauges, Tachometers, Speedometers, Shift Light, Pod

Thanks for the info. I really like that setup you have. Where did you get the aftermarket bezel? And what combination color and style gauges are those?

It was just a cheap one off Ebay. I might change it to a nicer one later but it works fine.

It was the Revolution gauges for the recall ability.
Black dial/white font with cobalt blue back lit.
Revolution black ring

I think this is the same bezel, I just got it off ebay for about 40 bucks though.

CPC makes one with chromed outline, as original. They even offer them with gauges installed.

Similar to Blown 65

I did a package with Speedhut gauges (like Blown65), only using the stock bezel and a Rally Pac.
I have a stock Cobra dash mounted tach, and will add a mini, shift light for track duty.
here's the gauge package.
(btw) They have a 4" speedo, that would have looked even better than my setup.

Looks great. I love the options you can do with those gauges.
