Has anyone wired up new gauges into the car? Speedo Tach etc..?

i have an 86 z28 none of the gauges worked when i got he car and am in the process of swapping the 305 out for a 350 still carbed but i also noticed that the wiring harness on thec ar has a wire for tpi etc i want to rip all that un necessary stuff out and just keep what i need.

any ideas?

 

Are you buying the IROC cluster?

 

no i plan on installing Autometer gauges(speedo, tach fuel oil water etc..)

 

Mech or electrical? I was gonna use mechanical I would rather rely on em.

 

If your going to be using Autometer gauges you can get rid of pretty much everything, since Autometer gauges come with new sending units. If I was you I would get rid of everything except the turn signal wires and probably the tach wire, and the original ground and power wires.
