Oil pressure/Water Temp/Tach guages

[19stang66]

So I just replaced the sending units for the oil pressure and water temp. and my gauges still wont work. I grounded the gauges and they both pegged, so it's not the gauges. Also, sometimes when I start my car the oil pressure gauge moves almost halfway then goes back to zero the rest of the time. The temp gauge doesnt move at all. The wiring looks fairly new too.

So I was looking at getting some aftermarket gauges anyways since the stock ones don't tell you much. I was looking at the Summit Racing brand ones. Are the ones I have listed any good? They are fairly cheap and look good. How would I mount them under my dash? How hard is it to install them?

Off the top of my head, IIRC the gauges in the 66 dash bezel are around 2 1/16th inch. (I could be thinking incorrectly also) Lots of hacking needed to fit some of these gauges.

There is a constant voltage regulator (CVR) behind the dash that could be your problems. CJ Pony Parts has a picture on page 192.

I already replaced the CVR because the fuel gauge didnt work but now it does.

I used autometer sport comp and ABS gauge bezel in my 65 fastback. just my low buck way of making things work.

Do you have a supplies list, how to's, prices for that setup? Looks great!

 

[347Fastback]

I will send you the info this evening, I have the part #s etc... I will give you the cost and vendor...

Parts list for me too please

I purchased a dash and gauges from Haneline for my 66 coupe, and it is the most worthless setup I ever wasted money on.
The new dash mount is flimsy plastic, the gauges are too deep to clear the dash braces, so the gauges wont sit into the dash properly.

At any rate, turned out to be a waste of $500 in my opinion.

If you could send me your parts list as well, I'd be appreciative.

That does look dam good. I bought the Haneline as well for my 65. I have it all in and its working well, though I do have a speedo problem with my cable. My one complaint is that the gauge panel was VERY FLISMY...heck without that metal part, I think it would have fell apart. Also I do not care much with their numbering system, and the instructions were faded and sucked, but overall its does not look so bad, and ANYTHING is better than the idiot dash.

In retrospec, I should have found a cluster panel that fitted my 65, and built my own gauges. But oh well.

Isaiah’s Gauge Project:

The project is very basic and requires skill knowledge of a “6” on a 1 to 10 scale. This just a quick write up I did on break this morning...

Parts List

1. ATM – 3315 Fuel Level Ford/Mopar
2. ATM – 3321 Oil Pressure 0 -100
3. ATM – 3337 Water Temp
4. ATM – 3391 Volts
5. ATM – 3991 Sport Comp Electric Tach
6. ATM – 3992 Sport Comp Mechanical Speedo
7. ABS Gauge Bezel
8. Gauge Wiring Harness


Vendor: http://www.summitracing.com/ - Auto Meter Gauges

Options for Gauge Pod
Option 1: You can use the original gauge bezel with a gauge holder.
Vendor for gauges holder is:

Option 2: This is the option I chose. I got the gauge bezel from: http://www.deltabaymustang.com/absinstpnl.htm


Wiring Harness:
If you want to keep your under-dash area organized or you think that you need to remove gauges from time to time then you need to install our universal gauge harness. It will connect all major brand gauges including Auto Meter and VDO and works with most dash layouts and sizes.

Summit Racing also carries this part: PRF-30301 http://www.summitracing.com/



You do not have to use the harness if you prefer to just buy wire and make your own connections. I just prefer the ability to be able to remove the gauges without cutting etc…

I hope this helps… Please feel free to add info so we can hep out the next person who does this project.
