What are you doing about that conversion regarding gauges?
The gauges are new just the original style, 12 volt v8 gauges but the plug and mounts are the same as the old just in a new gauge. The gauge and cluster are a bit more than $475. Gas gauge and cluster was about $550 for both. So the gauges are new just old style.
