Re: help buying auto meters

You should need ,0 to 90 ohms for fuel gauge.Electrical gauge will hook up to stock wiring in the dash.For the speedo,I put a electronic auto meter in my
85Z,and put a hall effect sender in on the tranny.This replaces the cable drive
from the original speedo.The original vss is built into the stock dash.Are you replacing all gauges?.Best to use all electric gauges.Hope this helps.

Hi,here is a link to the sender,it's a autometer part.I would assume you have a cable driven speedo at the moment?.The hall effect sender goes in to the tranny,where the cable now goes,and generates a electrical signal that goes to the autometer speedo.
