In the video's somewhere I state that you cant find the plastic retainer for the Odometer Numbers. Wrong! Here it is.

Old Army infantry plastic reference cards can be used to make a new one.

Ha. I thought of using some sheet plastic from a hobby store if I needed it.

I also installed a Low Fuel Light that I got from GBodyParts.

The instructions were pretty clear, but I won't know about the function until it's installed and the car's running.

Yeah. They have about 49 different colors to choose from. Any color but White is an extra $30. You can order LED bulbs too. They even have the "Sweep" style gauge overlays.

They have 78-80 Sweep style too http://www.whitegauges.net/products...tlass-Retangular-Sweep-White-Face-Gauges.html
