I swapped my gauge cluster today, step by step pictures. I am gauging interest on who would like to see a tutorial? It is probably very easy for anyone to do it, but incase new guys (like myself) would like to see.

1979 SA 12A

 

You swapped it with what? Id be interested if it was with a 2nd gen or something.

 

Bah, I ment to say removal sorry. Basically I swapped it with the same kind, only half my gauges worked before.

 

Does it now read correctly?

 

As far as I know, yes. I ran with the old gauges to see if it still overheated, and it didnt. swapped out the gauges, now i can see that i idle at 1100-1200 rpm, and my gauges work nicely, minus the clock. car was warm though, so either later tonight when its bone cold or tomorrow morning, I will start it and double check.

 

Great, that's good to hear. If you want a working clock, let me know. I tore apart a spare Sa cluster to check out the problem with the no reading of the water temp and fuel gauge. You can have the clock for free. Since you just swapped out clusters, it will only take you a few minutes,lol.

 

Then if it is for free, I will definately take it! :p
