Default Impulse Buy... One Small Step Forward.










Waiting on speedo, tach, and fuel gauges to arrive tomorrow. Just couldn't resist showing. Took a small amount of cutting on the OEM bezel, but... so far so good.

Thanks!

Gotta pick up the speedo, tach, and fuel gauges this evening. They shipped from different locations. I'll take more pics when finished tonight.

I returned them b/c half the gauges were mechanical (not really what I wanted), and the tach and speedo were too small. Even made a cardboard template, thinking I'd fab an aluminum plate to mount it (don't laugh at scotch tape mock-up). Needed the 5" tach & speedo, and they don't make/carry them. Too much work into budget mod, and being that speedo is a mech one, I cannot use with my 4L60E. Here's some pics before I disassembled everything:











Two steps back now... gonna concentrate on running the motor from this point. Waiting on fittings to finish fuel, then rig wiring to fire it up. I'm desperate to hear this thing run.
