Gauge just came in. The only problem that i see is the adaptor that i have to made between the electronic sender and the output of the transmission speedometer. I will have to change the fuel sender also.

Stay tune!!!!

Ok here the picture of my new dashImage
The worst part was to change the fuel sender. I bought the 240-33 ohms from VDO. I have to replace the cover from the VDO sender from the one in the Fiat. The trick is to drill the Fiat cover where the rod is welded thrue the cover.
Now thw fuel gauge is not working because he need to be reprogram. No rush it's winter down here.

We did a dash similar to that back in the 80's in my brothers Datsun PU with a V6 in it. But that's when it was cool to have a digital dash here in California. Now we are back to vintage style....or maybe the digital is already coming back around....I am getting older :D
