thanks for the pic redfox, that helped out a ton, now i think i am all set to go. thanks to everyone who helped.

[redfox]

no prob, got o a junk yard tho and buy a cluster from any car and use it to test on b4 you go and pull the needles off your gauges so you dont mess them up.....

[whistler]

i think im gonna do that...since i think i mite break the needles...lets see though....

[redfox]

it feals like you are gunna brake them but the needle is glued to the metal rod.....if you dont pull evenly the rod will come out of the gauge motor.....then you are screwed.....my gas gauge still doesnt work......i just go 200 miles and then fill up......

[redfox]

oh btw.....leave the stock gauges in the cluster, just take the screws out and put the glow gauges on top of the stock ones and screw them back down.....the glow gauges are very flimsy so the stock onse act as a stiff backing so they dont bend or boe....

[whistler]

i think im gonna test myself on a test cluster from JY...and then see what happens... Semtex has a How-To on taking out the cluster needles...

so hopefully, everything should go well.... also Mazdaracer has some stuff on his website....

so lets see... the spoon feeding has been done... i just gotta open my mouth and gulp it down... lets see how tough that is.....lol

[redfox]

wish i would have seen that b4 i attempted my gauges.....oh well who needs a gas gauge any how?...lol

[whistler]

btw, using a butter knife or a fine flat screw-driver for the gas gauges should work fine, rite??

just making sure....got my gauges today, so mite start on that...

[redfox]

yeah i just used 2 flat heads....

ok i need a little help, my gauges finally came in the mail yesterday and i have installed them. it was pretty easy except that i broke the temp gauge, but oh well. the help i need is for the power for the gauges. i was wondering if you could tell me exactly what wire you tapped into to make the gauges come on when you turn on the headlights. this would be very helpful. thanks. oh yeah my speedometer is also off by 10 mph but i will fix that this afternoon when i wire the gauges up correctly. thanks again

[mustangjosh67]
