Hey Everyone and Happy New Year. Hope all is well. What a crazy year...

Anyway thought I'd give a brief update.

Did a wire tuck on Cherry. Relocated the coil. Right now in the middle of installing a full set of Autometer Phantom Gauges using the Classic Dash pod and wiring set.

so I came across this piece of bling bling on FB - it's a one off factory coil bracket that was chromed with a custom chrome cover.

I scored the Unicorn of Halo Headrests on Flea Bay. Used some Kiwi Black shoe polish and they are good as new

Trial fitted the autometer dash. all of the gauges work , the high beam indcator work, however two things I need to troubleshoot
1. the LED warning/MIL light remains on constant now
2. The alternator is not charging the battery. I tried it with and without a wire with the 510ohm resistor jumped between #2 and #14 wires on the passenger side plug.

Finally got around to the gauges again. After reviewing the pin outs and taking a test light and jumpering #2 and #14 on the passenger plug- that fixed the non charging issue. Jumpered the two wires and solved that problem. Classic Dash sucks eggs. No mention of this in their instructions and their "tech guy" was worthless.

Did some major trimming on the Dash housing to make it fit and buttoned everything back up. Working with a bad back makes everything take twice as long, but got it done.
