[Dugan]

To make life easy gut the factory harness and wire what you need only if you check out my build you can see how I did my dash.

Dugan does have a nice build going. its coming out nice.

I guess it all comes down to what the wiring looks like inside. if its old and brittle replace it.

Are you going to be picking up mechanical or electronic gauges? It will make a difference on how to hook them up. IMO mechanical gauges are the best, they are very easy to connect and get to work. If you need any help with them just let me know

I feel that they are more accurate.

The only real downside to mechanical gauges is that they are not good for tight areas because of all the various lines (depending on which gauge) they have to have to operate. If I had a little extra money and could go back I would definatley go with electronic gauges. JMO though . . .

The only mechanical gauges that I will be using is the oil and temp. Everything will be electric.
