Thank You to all for the replys.

I don`t plan on going to any concourse type car shows, so not too worried about the silly looks of the gauge. and I have some flat black paint for the silver dot thing in the middle to match the other gauges.

AS far as memorizing the conversion system, Iam too old to learn new tricks. or too stuborn.

As soon as I get off my butt and get the painting done under the hood, I`ll drop the engine in towards the end of the week. after I get everything hooked up and engine started, hopefully oil pressire etc... and everyting works, I`ll swap in this gauge.

I have seen these gauges for a long time and always wondered why they were not placed into the U.S. versions. I know probably additional production cost. but then left and right hand cars are produced for the different nations.

I`ll keep you posted, stand by for the next thrilling adventure.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
