Due to multiple faiolures with original instruments, I am planning on doing a cutom cluster for my RC. I already have Autometer gauges for what I need - oil pressure, wáter temp, voltmeter and tach (no need for speedo), but I do not know which fuel level gauge to buy because I do not know how many ohms my sending unit has.. There are gauges from 8 ohms up to 280 ohms.. Do you guys know which one I should buy?
Air-Core meter movement.
For most Fords before 1989 (except 1987 & later Mustang) & most Chryslers. Designed for use with Original Equipment non-linear fuel sensors. Click HERE for details.
Instrument features brushed aluminum dial in silver finish with matching silver anodized bezel.
Yours looks awesome... I can see you have more gauges than the usual setup (oil, gas, water, volt, tach, speedo).. What other gauges do you have in yours?...
Here's what I did for my demon, and I was thinking doing something similar, but don't know if 6 gauges will do it, or if I need some other stuff to pay attention to on the RamCharger
The thing is I could make an offer, but I guess I will be paying twice the price just for shipping.. I am quite far from where you are (see my location)...
You can install whatever gauges you want or need (or will fit)
In mine I installed:
Speedometer, Tach, Fuel Level, Voltage, Vacuum, Oil Pressure, Coolant Temp, and Trans Temp
I wanted to keep the stock AC\Heater controls plus I installed the Dual Battery switch panel and might even install the Air Pressure gauge and switch for the on-board air.
The sky is the limit all it takes is imagination (cash and time )
I removed the A/C in mine, so I will use that space to fit my CB radio as well as a VHF unit.... I am running with an NP435 so no need for tranny temp gauge... I was thinking about the diff temp gauges, but I guess I don't have a need for those (no rock crawling neither heavy towing here)... Same goes with the T-case temp gauge... Now, What do you use that Vacuum gauge for? I mean, I haven't ever used one like that one and I don't know what it is for.... What else do you think I must keep an eye to?
I will place some toggle switches on the dash: fuel pump, fan, fog lights, top light bar, and (maybe) lights... Any idea on what else I could use those switches with?
In an effort to get the best fuel mileage I can get I use the vacuum gauge to monitor my driving habits.
You can have switches for everything\anything really. I have switches for the following:
Rock lights
1 for each set of driving lights (2 sets)
1 for the cargo light in the bed of the truck
1 for the LED back-up lights
I am going to add:
1 for the Air compressor
1 for each locker
1 for the electric fan over-ride switch
Great! Thanks for the info... I guess I will use a setup like yours in regards to the driving lights... though in the pics you posted I cannot see where you have the switches...
And still don't get the vacuum thing... how does it work?
