Re: GT gauge cluster (164) 140-160 1970



Unfortunately, the cluster only has an idiot light not oil pressure.

Is it possible that the sender has an output for an oil pressure as well

as the idiot light? Would I still need it if it only has hookups for

the idiot light?

As for temperature sender and gas sender -- a friend once used guages

from a fiat on his 122; the temperature worked fine (as did the tach)

but he had problems with the speedo. He got another speedo out of a later

145 (and set it on his dashboard with double sided tape, running the

cable through the transmission hole) and now everything "works". He

got another temperature sender out of another car (I forget which) but

his temp gauge reads about 180 most of the time, and when it doesn't

it makes sense that it doesn't.

So, what I was thinking was that the gauges seem to be mostly compatible

except in specific cases (speedo / tach with different cylinders, etc).

Anyhow, I'll go to the yard and pick up the rest of the stuff. The

yard doesn't charge much for this sort of thing. Heck, I might also get

the head since this one is off of an automatic with fuel injection so

hopefully it has fewer miles and bigger valves.

Thanks again,

chris
