well i screwed up the face swap.
when i was putting it all back together I scuffed the face of the needle. :mad2:
autometer doesnt seem to sell just the needle.
any ideas short of buying a whole gauge?

Sorry to hear that Gavin, I bet Mary will hook you up.

Guage swap is next on my list. I know there are alot of threads out there outlining this project. Which one did you choose? Maybe give me a hint of where it's at....?:rolleyes:

This is why I decided to just swap the volt gauge as well. I'm such a clutch, I just knew I'd screw the pooch if I tried to swap the faces.

Count me out, then...not a "true marauder owner"...I don't have a THING that has come off...including those STUPID initial wiper blades.

I agree with the Sarge. By retaining the parts you can always go back to stock. :up:

OK I'll bite... In previous threads I've seen statements of replacing with "real" Auto Meter gauges. What's wrong with the stock ones? :confused:

The stock oil pressure gauge is a fake...as long as you have at least 6 lbs of oil pressure, the gauge will always read 60...no more, no less...

The replacement (i.e. WORKING) AutoMeter gauge is P/N 4327 and is available at Summit or Jegs for about $55. The (included) sender must also be replaced...

The voltmeter is real, but some folks want both gauges to be identical, so they replace it as well...the "real" gauges have a very slightly different face, but most people wouldn't see any difference if you didn't point it out...
