Classic Dash A-body instrument panel "review"

That looks really nice. After spending a whole lot of money having my car restored I am thinking of things like this to do in the future. Although I am a fan of the look of the original cluster, I see the value in adding the other gauges. Was there a lot of additional wiring to get the non-stock gauges wired in?

Kind of, all these gauges are aftermarket so you need to have a wire for the lights, ground, ignition on, and signal for each gauge. You can use the factory wiring for the first three and I used the old fuel and temp sender wires. When I did this conversion though I also bypassed the ammeter circuit which took an extra couple hours. Overall it's fairly straightforward but takes a lot of time getting all the wires off the gauges set up.

Something I noticed about the new mechanical speedo is the needle bounces pretty badly, is there a particular type of lube to use on the cable or is general purpose grease OK?
