I need to buy new gauges and I'd love some advise.
Thanks
Jon, What kind of Healey ? Nostalgia look ? You might start looking in a Jeg's/etc. catalog. The photo gallery, here is a good resource, to find the "look", your after. Good Luck, roverman.

Hi Jon,
I Just purchased new guages from Speedhut.com. There are multiple combinations of styles. You design your own guage, Color, Font, etc.... Also the speedo's are GPS, eliminating speedo cable issues. fuel guage is Programmable to any sending unit. The company is easy to work with and all guages were sent with everything needed to install the guage. they also provided us with new plug pins so we could shorten wiring harneses without mid wire splicing. Also notice the fuel guage in the speedometer guage.

Bo,
I like that engine-turned dash panel. Just checked out your project page. That 283 with trips ought to be a rev happy motor. Looking forward to more pics as you progress.
My first love was a 78 trans am. That explains the dash. I tried turning it myself but didn't have much luck. So bought a decal for now.

I cheated on my firewall, too, and bought a ready-made panel:

WOW ! They look like sub-tropic , anti-purging, golf ball dibits. Does this reduce aero drag ? Looks good too. roverman.
