Whoever rebuilt my 62 before I owned it put in a nice crate 350, M21 Muncie, nicely done. However, they chose to add aftermarket gauges for water temp, oil pressure and volts.............the original gauges are still hooked up because they register "oddly"........The add ons are mounted on the bottom of the dash just above my knees. I don't like the look, nor the non-originality nor my knees occasionally hitting them.
Here's the dumb question - - - If I hook the right wires to the right places between the water temp sensor, the alternator and the oil pressure sensor and the appropriate gauges, would they read correctly? Water temp is water temp; volts is volts and pressure is pressure. The readings on the add-on gauges are within the ranges on the original gauges...........
I've replaced idiot lights with gauges, and re-wired original items, but never sat and thought about this situation.
Perhaps it's the two glasses of Glenlivet that's messing up my brain??
