Re: Factory gauges for Gen V swap 70 Suburban?

Like the others said, you can use the factory temp sender for the temp gauge, then tap into an oil galley for oil pressure. The ammeter is better replaced with a voltmeter which can be had out of a square body truck, or Tbone sells a nice kit for it. As for the tach and speedo you could use a Dakota Digital SGI-5E which is a CANBUS interface that puts out signals for tach and speedo. Then you could get a Dakota Digital speedometer converter which is a box with a motor that spins the factory speedo cable, or you can convert the speedo to electronic which is what I do. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...?t=512751These
