I have the gauges but have started a build on a new house and shop so I have been busy working and moving.
I have purchased a spare cluster and gauge housing assembly. I plan to work on this during the house build so I can swap it out this spring.
I'll post pics as soon as I have something to show.

Cheers!

I love the fact that the dual speedo/tach enables you to record quarter mile passes, 0-60 etc. just awesome. I've been tossing up full speedhut gauges vs a racepak setup, idk yet based on price they are similar

I like the look of the gauges. I will say I put the temp gauge in a bracket beneath the dash to go to Crusin the Coast.
The gauge constantly reads between 200-225 degs. I shot everything under the hood with a thermo gun and couldn't get anything higher than 185 deg's.
I could lay my hand on the radiator or radiator hose indefinitely so I feel sure it wasn't running as hot as the gauge shows.
I called SpeedHut and talked to their tech guy. He said I did not have a good ground. The ground was run directly to the negative post of the battery!

That sucks? I have a mechanical autometer temp gauge I'll leave hooked in till I know what's what.
