The volts, water temp and fuel level guages are like 1 and something inches. The speedo and tach are 5", I believe. To run all autometer guages in the dash, you'd need to make a custom panel, and use 3 3/8 speedo and tach, and 2 1/16" fuel, volts and water gages. Don't forget you'd now need an oil pressure gage. I would recommend keeping the stock volts, fuel and water gages, and putting 5" in-dash replacements over the tach and speedo that match. Then you can install a couple gages on the a-pillar, all that match. I was going to do this but I need an electrical speedo, and my dash cracked, so I opted for a 4thgen dash. Look in the old threads, I think I saw some threads pertaining to this with some pics awhile back.
