Gauge Install

[JDecanter]

Got my gauges in from Geno's this week and installed them today. The instructions were adequate: the kits were pretty complete. I was a little nervous about drilling and tapping, but it was a piece of cake. The hardest part was accessing the keyed hot wire. They work great and look stock. I am pleased with everything except I have not found a suitable location for the sendng box.

Glad to hear that you got 'er done. I have the ISSPRO gauges also, very pleased with them, mine have been in for 2 years and work perfectly. I put the sending box up under the left hand side of the dash, kind of an open space there if you could call it that. You can pop off the side panel of the dash to easily get into that spot to secure the unit to some of the structure.

I am trying to do the same and install my Painless Wiring Kit in that same sade panel on the dash where the door is but I can figure out how to remove that plastic panel. It looks to be one piece. What is the trick on removing that panel? I don't want to break any plastic tabs. Thanks.

You can slip either a thin blade flat screwdriver or a knife blade between the two dash pieces. I recommend doing it near the bottom of the panels so if you scratch it, no one will see the scratches.



That is the same location I installed my Painless block. It takes a little reworking of some dash brackets, but it's very simple. I did a little write up a while back on it.
