As some of you know, I am doing the 5.0 conversion with an aod. I want to change out the gauges to make sure I am getting all the information I need. When I changed out the gauge pod there was a good amount of rust on the outside of the gauges. Kansas car... Anyway has anyone heard of using the gauges out of 80's or 90's mustang, or some other model? I would love to just get brand new but funds are running tight, and my wife is ready to throttle me for doing the project as it is. Quote " why don't you just buy one already fixed up?!" He he he
