55 2nd series speedo/gauges in a 58
Hello all, I have a very nice speedo/gauge cluster from a 2nd series 55 that I would like to use in my 58. I assume there are no issues with this right? I notice the temo sending unit on the 55 cluster is a non-electric one (just a probe that screws into the intake with a copper line for connection) while on the 58 the gauge has two electrical terminals. I assume I can just install the corret fitting into my intake (its a crate 350) and use the 55 cluster with the "mechanical" temp sender. Can you guys confirm i can use this 55 cluster in the 58? ANy other electrical considerations?
THanks, Mark |

Re: 55 2nd series speedo/gauges in a 58
they are the same shape and screw in the same
speedo, amp, fuel and oil pressure are the same make sure the mechanical temp gauge works before you install it or bolt in the electric 58 gauge test the temp gauge by dropping it water and heating it up the needle should move smoothly up to very warm and stop before overheating boiling water is 212*f and can't get hotter unless under pressure
