Re: [Amc-list] new water temperature gauge

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Oh,
Uh,
well,
do you really expect a straight answer???

Anyway, straight question for the question.
What kind of gauge did you buy?
Is it supposed to be factory and incorrect?
is it a round aftermarket gauge?
One or two gauges?

If it's factory style and does not fit, well then it does not fit.

For aftermarket gauges in an early American I would use a two piece mount and place it under the dash to avoid buggering up the top or face.
Depending on size you can also mount them in a cup and place them on the column or windshield pillar or even a console if so equipped.

Mechanical gauges pose more probelms for the cup mounts then electric.

On my 69 I massively reworked the factory cluster to use all Autometer Sport comp gauges.
It ended up being like Tom's trans overhaul, snowballed into about $500worth of gauges and mounting plate...

Pics can be seen by searching for user Wrambler_242 on photobucket.

Pretty sure you don't want to do that to yours!
