Default Got a question guys

I did a search and found a few results for a compass/temp mirror but not what I was looking for. I want to put one in my '56 Chevy Belair but have NO idea how to wire this thing or even if I CAN wire it to work in a non computer controlled car. Anyone know if this is possible ? is it just a positive/negative/ignition wireup then the temp probe or is it much more complicated ? Thanks in advance for any help.

yeah, there are a bunch of aftermarket kits I have seen before at SEMA and CES. So you should be able to find something on the internet.

It can easily be wired up since none of that has to do with the PCM. Most aftermarket kits will have standalone units for retro fits like you are trying to do.
