Fuel gauge to tachometer, clock to fuel gauge

84_c10_GMC said:

hello,

Has anyone used the summit retro gauges to replace their square body gauges? I am looking at replacing my large fuel gauge with the tachometer and the small clock with a small fuel gauge. They appear to mount the same on both, just curious how they look after installed. Will be going in a 84 high sierra c10


Thanks

Alex,,
I also used the LMC kit,, It was better than expected, very pleased with the quality and the kit was 100% complete. It has been in for a few years and works perfect. I would recommend it over anything else if OEM look is important.

Also,, No cutting up any factory stuff.

How is it getting its power and signal if not running wires to it? Does it replace the sheet on the back? And put wire into the plug? Or did you replace the entire cluster?

Did the same and agree. One button complete solution for OE fit and finish.

In a different approach, anyone aware of a small matching tach that goes in an empty small gauge location I have?

I did this and did a write up, check it out if it helps, all good. Thats what we are here for. Start at post 69 page five. Link: https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1973-k20-350-to-454-swap.29840/page-5

I have a '74 cluster with a factory tach in my '75, and the tach does not use any wires from the large multi-pin connector. The tach harness is a separate three wire plug, and only has power, ground and signal from distributor. I'd have to take a close look to see if the illumination bulbs are in a different spot, but they work the same as non-tach cluster.
