Hello friends !

I was trying to find out if I can install needle gauges for my 79 Monte carlo which comes only with the light indicators fo the base versions of MC, I want to know also if I can use the same printed circuit to put the improved gauges taken from a Landau version, Somebody can help me with this? Do I have to make any modification?

Special thanks to all.

I'm probably no help but if the back of your circuit has the tracks and mounting holes to connect gauges then it might work. I have not seen these two gauge assemblies side by side and I'm just guessing.

You're probably better off buying a gauge pod that already has the gauges. It'll probably be cheaper than to buy each individual gauge. Anyways, there is a write up on how to swap from idiot lights to gauges, and its really easy to do, my 78 had idiot lights and i upgraded to a gauge pod from a 81 El Camino, i had to add a resistor to the tach to get it working, there's a write up on that too. Do some searches on this forum and the montecarloss.com forum and I'm sure you will find the answers you need.
