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

The 240 dash (from what I've seen in salvage yards) is much better

thought out that the early 140 dash -- lots of places to put random

gauges such that they look normal and standard. The 164 I took the

gauge cluster out of had a console like this one but

without the gauges (it just had a clock and a vent). The gauge cluster

looks like but it had a

standard 68-72 steering wheel from a 140 (not 164). Probably I'll try to

find the gauges that I want from an earlier turbo 240 and the senders from

an old italian or english sports car (so I don't have to mess with changing

from metric to standard threads) since most of them have oil pressure and

often temperature. The only problem then is getting them to look right

in the secondary gauge cluster. Heck, if I ever get an overdrive transmission

for this car maybe I should put an OD pressure gauge in as well!

Thanks for all the tips!
