Re: upgrade from idiot lights to gauges
Main underdash harness, cluster harness, engine harness are the 3 that will need to be modified or replaced. I did the conversion in my 63.

Re: upgrade from idiot lights to gauges
i would imagine i would have to do the same for an updated say 6 gauge panel with modern gauges?
any recomendations for good priced harnesses always nice to go new if possible i could also use an updated engine harness for HEI . |

Re: upgrade from idiot lights to gauges
I went w/classic parts for my harness's. They also have the engine harness for HEI. You can reuse the old harness, but there are some modifications.....ammeter has to be wired, temp guage has one wire not too (plus different sending unit), oil pressure sending unit has to be removed and plumbed to the guage. Fuel remains the same.
