Wiring up aftermarket guages

[HommerSimpson]

IM finally geting around to wiring up guages this week.. all aftermarket stuf like stewert warner.. what Isues will i have and run into wiring up aftermarket guages like the gas guage and temp. ? I see lota resistors on the dash circut thing. what will i need to use of them ? if any ?

Any Info be nice.. thanks
Greg

What resistors are you speaking of? I havent seen the first resistor in the diagram or on the circuit board other than the guage itself. Since you are using aftermarket guages that negates all of that.

If you take the flexable circuit board of the back of the dash cluster there are several resistors... Im hunting my spare one to take pics... I was just wondering what they go to... If anyone new off top of there head and i didnt have to spend hrs tracing this stuf..

Thanks

what are you trying to do? mount the gauges in the factory cluster?

i just lifted the circuit film thing, drilled my holes, mounted the gauges, then put it back over the back of the gauges.

no

wow.... kinda looks like a boat.

are you talkin about using the stock senders?

not sure exactly how the gas gauge would hook up, but temp gauges should come with their own sender, the resistances are probably different.

Kinda reminds me of a 240Z/GT40 dash merging

mainly gas guage...its a SW guage... what issue will i have using stock sender.. and the tack.. just wire in the wires for org tack ? temp guage i think i have a sender for it.. oil i have manual...

thats not the whole dash... theres lot more that goes with it.. just not on yet..

Thanks...

ummmm.....no? looks kinda like home improvement....except in your car though.

Somehow I dont think the factory PCB for the guages is going to be your problem.
There are no resistors outside of the guages.
