[QUOTE="suicidekings, post: 15837510, member: 121833"] Gauges ended up coming in today, it was like Christmas! [ATTACH=full]1469176[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr I went with pro comp ultra lite gauges because I like the silver but I opted to do the flat black bezel and red LED's as an upgrade. I also opted to go with the full sweep gauges, quite a bit more expensive but I like the look better than the side to side sweep. I have the 5" speedo and tach. Speedo works off an electrical sender so no more speedo cable. I have water temp, oil pressure, volts, and fuel that are going on the dash. Those are all 2 and 1/16 inches. My old setup I had in front of the shifter oil pressure and water temp in 2 and 5/8ths, now one will be wideband and the other a clock. I ran out of other things to monitor and my factory radio doesn't have a clock. Next thing I did was wired up the start button. This was more of a novelty thing for me as the cigarette lighter was never used. I will still need to use the ignition key as I didn't want this live all the time. The pic below is with the key off. black button, not a lot of attention. [ATTACH=full]1469177[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr With the key on it powers the LED light ring around the start button, from the button I went through the clutch switch so you cannot start the car without the clutch pushed in. [ATTACH=full]1469178[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr I cleaned up some wiring and tucked it away. ran some wires from the dash to the sending units for water temp and oil pressure to the bay.
