yep - all electrical sans the speedo. Nate, it depends upon the guage and the way it was made. Having them stay in their relative last positions is not uncommon.

well that is different then. those aren't stock gauges. you can put any type of gauge you want in there. i think the only one that you CAN'T or COULDN'T be mechanical is a tach. you just have to decide which ones you mech or elec.

your new gauges that you install the the gauge housing you got will have new senders or instructions on how to hook them to the existing senders/wiring.

what kind of gauges are you gonna run? it should look nice.

good luck.

i like the autometer phantoms, my fuellevel gauge pooped out on me a couple of years ago i didnt want to just put one on my dash or anything like that, so i figured id wait to see if anybody came up with a aftermarket cluster that wasnt expensive, nows my chance to get better readings then our crappy stock ones also didnt want to put that bulky tach on my dash. Now that i know that everything is electical except the speedo i can order what i need,.
