Terry,

Check out the junk yard.  I recall seeing a AD that had chevette (or
something similar) set of gauges.  Just take the measurements of you gauges
and see what you can find to fit.

|I have some questions for you guys who have converted to 12 volt and gone
to
|an alternator charging system.
|
|1)  What exactly did you do with your gauges?
|
|2)  Do you still use your amp gauge?  Is it save to run a wire with that
|much juice to a terminal under the dash?
|
|
|I would really like to go to the modernized original gauges but the cost is
|not realistic ($550).  The cheap way to keep the original style gauges
would
|be to go with the GMC oil and temp and re-decal my original 80 mph
|speedometer but I question how effective the gauges are and I wonder how
|much trouble and cost I'll get into trying to calibrate my speedometer to
my
|TH400 transmission and 2.73 rearend.  Any input and previous experience
|would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.
