Awsome video. Helped me out with repairing my cluster. I had the parts for a long time. Video helped me putting the pieces in the right place. FYI 70 chevelle from sweep cluster to round guages.
at 5:07 you said the name of the conversion kit...I need that exactly... for the tach and gauges; Not finding W light?? only finding individual gauges in resto shops.... can you post the link to the kit...where you bought it.
Hey Chris. Got a question. Have a 72 Monte Carlo. Gas gauge was working when I took it out. Plugged it back in after swapped the clock for tach and reads below E now. I put my multi meter on the screws on backend the gauge and get 49 ohm. Is that the normal state? Is it possible I shorted the gauge itself?
Hey Chris, Thanks for this great video, Question. Where can I find this small lens with "LIGHTS" that you glued in the lights switch front section around 14:28 of the video? Mine is missing that. Thank you!! Keep up the good work!!
@@chriscraft77022You turned the room light Off to test the light bulb of the cluster. You show the front of the cluster as you apply voltage and the light turn on. Where do you apply the power to test each one? Where do you connect the Neg (-) of the 12V?? Thanks, Regards
I got a question. I got a 71 mailbu car with the sweeping dash. I was gonna convert it over to the round gauges. So I need the gauges and wiring harness. I bought a set of ss factory gauges with the tach, amp, and temp gauges in it. And then I bought a wiring harness separate. But that wiring harness wasn’t Hooked up to a set of gauges with all the temp and tech and amp gauges. Is their anyway I can get those (temp,amp, and tach) gauges to work with that harness? Could I add another set of wires to it? Or do I have to get another wiring harness to get that to work ? I need help lol Anyone can chime in to help me. Thanks
i super glued the lens back and the voltage is the same as the battery voltage for everything on the dash.. my dimmer is always clocked to off .. turn it all the way left in case you dont know..
I have. 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo and j want to restore my dash and wires what kit of the gauges did you buy and can you list all the things you bought to make it possible and part numbers thank you I hope to hear from you and awesome video!!!
If you are doing this job, install 6000K led's in the dash illumination sockets only, I re-did my cluster as well with new bulbs (even used 168's which are a little brighter) and had to remove my cluster again 1 year later to install led's because the illumination was so poor. Now illumination is great, matches my other incandescent lighting I left alone on the climate controls, console and radio and everything is still dim-able. I used Sylvania zevo 6000k super-brite 194 led's, they are dim-able, polarity sensitive, have a heat sink and lifetime warranty, pricey at $22/pair, but I don't want to do the job again. Job took 10 led's. You want to keep incandescent's in the areas I mentioned to aid in current draw through your headlight switch rheostat facilitating smooth dim-ability.
@@chriscraft77022 That's just nuts spending all that time and money on a gauge conversion and not being able to enjoy or even read your new cluster at night. I'm 65 and drove a W-code in high school too and I don't remember not being able to read my gauges at night.

Chris which wires to make a dummy light? Planning on just addind a red indicator light on the dash somewhere.
How did you a fix lens? Didn’t show that part?!
Thank you!!
Will the factory tach work with a MSD box?

OPGI … or STMC in spring, Tx both are Chevelle parts
@@chriscraft77022 Thank You, I know OPGI but can not find any web page for STMC thou?
Also, it will be a good idea to show from rear how or where do you apply power to text the lights etc. Thanks
I don’t understand what that means.

And what volt or amp did you check lights at?
i super glued the lens back and the voltage is the same as the battery voltage for everything on the dash.. my dimmer is always clocked to off .. turn it all the way left in case you dont know..
Thank you!

I drove a 72 in high school. I want my lights to look like they came. I could have put whatever I wanted in there

What are you listening to? Sounds like some good old Robin Trower.
you can buy one from Original Parts Group they have a volt meter not amp see you tube vido
Better info the OPI thanks
