Been thinking about replacing the stock gauges on the '76 for some aftermarket ones such as these http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/ ... prd725.htm . A bit on the Expensive side, but it would replace some of the old wiring.
Board has been semi slow, so discuss!

Re: Replacing Gauges on GD Coupe
I have been thinking about this myself, I believe 77galantv6 has fitted an aftermarket tacho into his factory dash and it looks good.
I like the look of these (in the old school white) but what to put in the 3rd hole in the dash?

Re: Replacing Gauges on GD Coupe
Probably leave it blank, my car didn't come with a tacho as it is, or I've thought about the using three Autometer guages - Tacho, Speedo and a Quad Gauge.
Quad guage looks like this

Re: Replacing Gauges on GD Coupe
Those Autometer ones do blend nicely as a good replacement, I think I may look into those instead.

Did you mean 3 3/8 by chance, because I don't see a 3 3/4 size anywhere.77galantv6 wrote:mine has autometer gauges - tacho and speedo,
