Many of our favorite cars and trucks of the past featured the most basic instrument cluster. Often just a speedometer, water temperature, and fuel level were all that the driver had to monitor. If you were lucky, you might have an “idiot light” for oil pressure, and the older the car the bigger that “if” becomes. Early cars also had ammeters which showed state of charge or discharge and not actual charging system voltage. The main issue with ammeters has always been how they read this charge/discharge amperage, which often created charging system issues when the car gauge failed. Not to mention modern high-output alternators are simply not safe to run through an ammeter either.
Updating to a complete set of dash gauges not only ensures you have a way to monitor your vehicle’s vital systems but are usually easier to read at a glance with better illumination and are much more accurate than factory car gauges that are 50 plus years old, if they even work at all! Speedway Motors’ mechanical 5-gauge kit provides all the essentials you need, including a mechanical speedometer gauge, electric voltmeter gauge, electric fuel level gauge, mechanical water temperature gauge, and mechanical oil pressure gauge. This car gauges set easily fits into many of our available in application specific and universal fitments or simply grab the proper hole saw size and direct mount to any fiberglass, aluminum, or steel sheet/panel.
Build Quality Normally Reserved for Much More Expensive Vehicle GaugesWhile our 5-gauge instrument kit is easy on your wallet, it is far from a set of “cheap aftermarket gauges” for your dash to get you on the road. While we kept costs in mind to provide a complete dash gauge solution, we built our automotive gauges with high clarity flat glass lenses instead of just injection molded clear plastic others use. The bezels are stainless steel and not chrome plated plastic or cheap tin either. We include metal mounting hardware (helpful when grounding auto gauges in a fiberglass dashboard for example), incandescent perimeter lighting in all dash gauges, and full instructions.
Dial faces are screen printed in black with white lettering and white needle pointer for a crisp visual appearance that allows for quick identification of engine vitals. We offer this same kit in a option if you prefer the modern white car gauge look. Our 5-gauge set exudes quality and once you have them in your hands, we think you’ll agree that they are one heck of a deal for your hard earned money. These are far from the cheap replacement gauges you’ll find online from some company you’ve never heard of. Shop with Speedway Motors and shop with confidence!
Easy To Install and Wire Up with No Confusing ElectronicsOur car gauges are built to industry standard dimensions, with our speedometer sized at 3-3/8-inches and the supporting vehicle gauges are 2-1/16 gauges. This allows for easy mounting in accessories like if you have limited dash surface area to mount the full car gauge kit or wish to leave the factory gauge cluster in place.
Standard incandescent bulbs illuminate the gauge perimeter in a soft white light for a classic lighting style that fits any muscle car, hot rod, or truck build, and are easily replaced when needed. The mechanical speedometer uses standard GM 5/8-18 threaded cable connection, so all you have to do is determine proper cable length and transmission end style to order the appropriate if you don’t already have the correct cable in place.
The included mechanical water temperature gauge comes pre-fitted with a capillary tube assembly and brass adapters to fit any cylinder head or intake water passage, while the mechanical oil pressure gauge includes nylon tubing with compression fittings and adapters to connect to your engine block’s oil gallery port. These simple connections mean no tedious gauge calibrating or running wire harnesses to bulky sending units that get in the way of other engine components.
The included fuel level sender is configured for the popular Stewart Warner universal aftermarket values of 240 ohms full/33 ohms empty. The five-bolt sending unit is adjustable for tank depth from 6 to 24 inches and can be configured for left or right float arm swing, allowing it to be fitted to most any factory or aftermarket fuel tank/cell. If you do not wish to modify your fuel tank and your stock fuel level sending unit is in proper working order, we highly suggest using our . This handy little module allows you to easily configure your stock sending unit to work with any fuel level gauge resistance values for full and empty, saving you the hassle of dropping the fuel tank, draining it, cutting a hole for the aftermarket sending unit, and so on. It can be a huge time saver when installing new automotive gauges.
