and jason goss...anymore pics??

Dakota digital makes a module that changes electrical signals fifty different ways.I use them on every car I build.It makes things easier.

yea I was looking at that ...except I didnt know if they could have the gauges even work

they can change though electrical signal over to a mechanical??...

All those dashes are looking cool, i really dig old dashes in late model vehicles.

It will change a mechanical to electrical with a speedometer sending unit but not the other way.Changing the gauges from manual to electrical only requires different senders.

yea but my question is if its possible to turn it from electrical to manual ...OR ... if you can tap on to certain things to have it be a manual one

No more pics. I got it and narrowed it and it's sat in the corner since. Been busy with other peoples trucks and haven't had time for mine.

All gauges with the exception of speedometer can go either way. if you have electrical ones now you can go to mechanical. All you have to do is get rid of the sensor and put in the fitting you need. If the motor requires that sensor you may have to look for a different hole or put a tee fitting in it.

if it's mechanical and you want to go with electric gauges you just have to add sending units. Some of the cheaper gauges don't come with sending units and they can be pricey.

O'reily's has a brand of gauges called Equus (something like that) that are pretty nice. If you're on a budget.

why exception of speedometer?? I am wondering about the fuel unit ...what that would connect to ...Im wondering how each would be used

the speedo cant because it either is cable driven or sensor driven, so they either have a cable or dont no way to convert
