Hello,
Looking into new dash gauges, after looking at the current setup OEM inside the dash, the speedo cable is basically in the way pretty much..., and does not want to move around much at all.
Does anyone know of a matching cable thats shorter, perhaps they can be made????.
Wonder if an adapter could be fited, from where the current cable leaves the engine??
I did wonder given the age of the GMC, if an RPM meter could be fitted. I found out that you can connect a RPM meter also, to the gmc fairly easily, Basically a wire connection.
This may be on the later models only ??
Does anyone know the basic generic setting for our engine, regarding a digital speedo. I know some gauges allow you to set for different wheels size, gear size etc. Guess i am asking if in general digital gauges will work..., with our older vehicles.
The digital gauge Oil pressure sensor is 0-100, i assume thats going to work ok. What size is the OEM oil pressure fitting to the engine??. I assume adapters can be obtained to make any size fit the OEM hole...
Sorry so many questions at one time .....
Not wishing to buy stuff thats not going to interface correctly,
due to the old tire size, 16.5 and other things ....
have a nice day Y'all
