Switching to gauge cluster
I am switching out my gauge cluster from the warning light cluster to the actual gauges. I have a wiring harness on order. Looking to find the correct oil and temp sending units. Can I pull from a newer 350 I have? Would they still read correct?

Re: Switching to gauge cluster
Your oil pressure uses a presure switch, they are the same I believe but will see what the others say, you will need the correct temp sender, you can get them thru Truck and Car Shop...page 93 in the online catalog.

Re: Switching to gauge cluster
I had no luck getting my temp gauge to read accurately with parts house sending units. Based on a tip I got on the Team Chevelle website, I got sending units from these guys..
http://www.lectriclimited.com/ and the factory temp gauges now work perfectly in both my 69 Chevelle and my 64 C10. |

Re: Switching to gauge cluster
Make sure not to use teflon tape on the temp sending unit. I got mine from classic parts 3 years ago...no issues.
