Electrical Temp Gauge Swap Mar 30, 2012 4:22:32 GMT -6

I removed the gigantic gauge cluster and replaced it with a small speedo with all the indicator lights. However, I'd like to still monitor my water temp. Can I connect the new aftermarket gauge to the same connections as the stock gauge? Just a couple wires?

I'm also interested in the "inline" gauges. Here's links to both.

	If at first you do succeed,try not to look surprised.

	Keep in mind my pet thing.....a good valve adjustment...these engines "Love" a good valve adjustment about every 5,000 miles.

You'll need two diodes to wire the turn signals because the speedo condenses the signals into one led instead of left/right.
