That will be a nice rig once it's all complete.

It must just have a later PCM and harness then.

I got my oil sender modified and the 1/8" pipe fitting installed in it for the mechanical gauge. You just remove the LS sender, break the plastic off of the top and drill and tap it for the original SB 1/8" NPT block fitting, then screw your original oil line to it. Also got the temp sender hole drilled & tapped for the 67-72 temp sender yesterday. On the temp sender I drilled the head out to accept the original '67-'72 gauge sender. You use a 23/32 bit ( I started out small and worked my way up) and a 1/2-14 NPT tap, and use the correct sensor for your gauge or light. (NPT means National Pipe Thread)

I'm cleaning the shop so I have enough room to back the Panel in and set the engine in it. That's a two day job in itself...
