just hook them back up, most likely the senders will go back just like thay came off the other engine.

question what year is your car? IF it is an 87 and up bird and you are switching to a carb then no unless you leave the comp hooked up. same thing for 90 and up Camaro's. If you leave the fuel injection everything should be ok.

87 and up is computer controlled gauges. SO as long as the comp is still hooked up they should work. 86 is not comp controlled

Whew, you guys were scaring me for a minute. I just did the 305 to 350 and had to leave the computer on it till i could buy all the other parts (carb, manifold, dist). I was concerned that my gauges would not work without the computer when i finish the computer delete option!!
