Thanks.
Thanks for the compliment. As for gauges, that's the one area that I've never been able to do right. It seems like every time I go to upgrade, something else gets the attention. As of now, I still have a factory cluster, with the fuel gauge being the only thing working in it. I was never able to get the speedo working with the correct fittings in the transmission, the tach died shortly after getting it installed, the oil pressure was always pegged, I never got the correct sending unit for the coolant temp, and the volt meter just doesn't work. For now, I'm using one of those inexpensive 3 gauge clusters mounted at the bottom of the dash.

Yes, for all the other stuff I've done, this seems strange to overlook something so simple. I've actually started to build a cluster out of an old glove box door, but it stalled out when the suspension upgrade began. Hopefully, once it's back up and running, I'll get back to it.
