Alright, I've got to work the 4th, however basically I'm just babysitting so it'll be easy for me to do some work on the truck. My gauges are severely sun beaten and you can see through the plastic, so I've decided to fabricate a new gauge cluster to fit into the dash. O'Reilly has some decent gauges in stock and that I'm planning to buy, just got a quick question about the fuel gauge.
My current gauge works fine, so I'm assuming the sending unit is working properly. I want to replace it with an aftermarket one, just gotta make sure I buy the right one. The one I'm looking at says it's for "Most pre '89 Ford and Chrysler Applications." Or it uses the signal of: 73 Ohms when empty and 10 Ohms when full. Is this the correct gauge to buy for the 880?
I'm planning to buy a fuel level, then the triple pack: Volt, Water Temp, & Oil Pressure; a Speedo and add a Tach. I'm aware that I'll have to do the Ammeter bypass for this application. Thinking of possibly using a diamond plate for the dash filler..... Gotta check and see if Lowes has some in stock first though...
