Cranked her up yesterday.

She's alive. I just need radiator hoses, a hydraulic clutch line, and exhaust to be able to driver her.


I'm in the process of finishing up my wiring, but my gauge cluster isn't powering up. It lights up with the parking lights but the gauges don't move. Anyone have some insight?

Mine arent working either but the only onee I have hooked up is the fuel guage. I tried to hook the tach wire up to the group of wire on the pass. side and got a little "smoke" so I am going to try running it directly to the cluster. Anyone know which connection and wire for the tach and speedo.

You have probably disconnected the ground for the cluster, and as for your " smoke" that doesnt sound good.

That's what I figured. Any tips on where to look for the ground?

I was just playing around. I dont have any exhaust more than manifolds on the car right now so when i start her up either a little dust or a little exhaust comes up through where i have the shifter. Thats where the "smoke" I was talking about is coming from.

Any idea where this ground might be or where I can wire one from and too?

Thanks
Mike
