Ammeter guage shows overall charging system volts, live. As in if the alt/gen are on, and providing volts, or not, and showing "discharge". A Voltmeter guage shows volts (Usually in Alternator systems, vs Generators) in the positive for an alternator system.
@@Chickeneyegarage I looked too and I think I'm sh*t out of luck. I think 6 cylinder tachs are as rare as unicorns and even if I do find one I dont think they'd work with my HEI. I've seen aftermarket short sweep tachs that I wonder if they could be gutted and fit in the dash🤔
@@maggs131 you could run an ignition box if you wanted. I did a video if you haven’t seen it but it works with the tach I got. I have a pertronix and you can select different cylinder options. Maybe an option for you
@@Chickeneyegarage what's weird is the aftermarket one that came clamped to my column worked on the points system and I didn't give compatibility a second thought and it worked fine with the hei I just changed over to
@@maggs131 I wonder if the tach I have would work with a 6 cylinder. Why would they specify that it doesn’t work with hei but not say whether it works for 6 cylinder or not.
You da man! I got a 64 that I’m getting back to normal!
Nice, where is the install
Nice shoulder harness

I’d like to see how you hooked up the wires to the gauges like the batt D C meter
I have seen a pic when someone put a clock in the left hole. same style font, it looked good.
Clock would look good but I would rather have a vacuum gauge. They are hard to find though.
@@Chickeneyegarage I am bad at saying it, but thanks for all the videos!
@@Chickeneyegarage i just bought a vacuum gauge from an old pontiac, looks like it can be retrofitted to go in blank location, left side
@@charlestaylor6783 I have seen people do it. Looks like it belongs there. Those gauges are hard to find too.
Where did you get the tach? I didn't realize you could buy them stand alone like that and assumed I'd have to buy a whole cluster.

Is that selectable between 6 and 8 cyl or is it 8 cyl only?
I checked the website and it says it doesn’t work with hei distributors. Doesn’t say anything about cylinder selection.

How many bulbs are there?
Will that tach work with HEI?
There website says no.
@@Chickeneyegarage but brothers install says yes
@@blueox588 I tried with no diode or filter and its a NO. Still working at it.
@@tonyrich7518 anything yet and where can I find the filter.
