When my water temp gauge bit the dust, I decided to replace it with a
combination Oil Pressure / Water Temp combination (see below) ...
this left a nice hole into which I inserted an Smiths electric clock
... (see below) naturally the water gauge failed after a few years so
I replaced it with an upgraded version.
Screw up #2, while replacing my water temp gauge, I managed to short
out my electric clock ... or so I thought, bad clock ... my Dear Wife
gave me a new clock for my birthday, when I installed it ... didn't
work ! Ah Ha I thought, perhaps I should check the wiring ... bad
wiring ... fixed that and of course Both clocks now work. SO ... if
anyone is considering this conversion I would be happy to sell them
the New Clock, for a nice discount. You can check the website below
and see pictures of the replacements I used. I really like the dual
gauge, and enjoy having a clock.
