WIll stock gauges work when I switch to carb?

tireburner163 · 11-24-2001, 10:12 PM

When I swap in my 302 I'm going to a carb and ditching the EFI/computer. Will the stock fuel, temp, volt, and speedo work? I'll probably replace the gauges with aftermarket gauges in a cage, but it bothers me when stuff doesn't work.

The fuel, temp, oil and volt gauges will work, but I don't know about the speedo.

Take care,

Yeah the Speedo will work, you might need a different cable and or gear... depending on the tranny your going to use... the only thing that wont work will be the tach... hope this helps...

your spedo will work if you run a cable to the tranny. there is a place to put one on a t-5, you just have to get the correct spedo gear to match your rear end gears
