Nordskog digital gauges finally installed
Finished this project in about a month and a half. Really took my time and labeled wiring, soldered spade ends on everything and shrink wrapped most of it too. I got it all together and discovered there was a bad LED on the speedo. That was a 1 week delay that could have been a lot longer if Ken Evans from Nordskog had not intervened. I can't say enough about Nordskog's customer and tech support. I discovered I had to have the S9013 speed sensor to convert the mechanical signal from the tranny to an electronic one. Another 1 week delay. The instructions leave out a lot so I had to guess and fudge a lot. I fixed up the radio hole too, putting a plate over the faceplate hole and 2 switches in the control **** holes. The left switch controls the electric fuel pump, while the switch on the right controls the speedo functions. The pics don't really do it justice. They really look much better in person.

Brett - they look great, especially the night pics!!
Congrats on a job well done..
I am leaning toward the Dakotas now even though they are $$, the blue would look really cool in my blue 71!!!

Nice work Brett. :thumbs: Looks very professional and clean - kind'a original and kind'a modern too - but not overdone.
I have to redo all my mine now as the gauge panel is just hanging out all disasembled in pieces. I plan to install fuel pressure in clock hole. Hope just to send this out to the pros and get back something I can just plug in as I don't have the time. :rofl:
I also have 2 Edelbrock Fuel/Air LED monitors to put somwhere. I had hoped to use the radio slot but boxes are just a hair too long to fit verically or horizontally - even with a dremel cutter to hack things up. I think what I need a another plate to mount them on. Oh well, I'll just have to run for a while with out the monitors until I can figure something out - have plug the O2 fittings for now.
Also have 2&5/8" vacuum gauge that I don't know where to install. I'm thinking somewhere on the column maybe? :rolleyes:

Everyone - Thanks for the compliments!
Cardo - Good luck on your gauge situation. Sounds like you're going to have to do some bigtime rearrangement. That's one reason I went for the Nordskogs....it's all put together and ready to go...also cheaper than buying individual Autometers and rigging the turn signals and hi beam indicator.
