I have a 74 k20 and i found a 77 speedo but it dosnt fit for some reason. It seems like its too deep. Is there a difference between gauges 74-77?

Re: 74 k20 speedometer dosn't fit
it should fit the only difference in depth is tach and just gauges.. Sometimes you have to play with them to get them to seat... I had to tuck the bottom under the lip and slowly massage it in

Re: 74 k20 speedometer dosn't fit
I think i found out why. I think the gauge cluster is out of a newer truck it has a cutout for the speedo cable and a seperate cutout for what looks like a plug in for something

Re: 74 k20 speedometer dosn't fit

Re: 74 k20 speedometer dosn't fit
Remember your 74 is wired for an Ammeter. The 77 will have a volt meter.
