I've been going really slow and taking my time, doing things right and fixing things that are more convenient now that the motor is out.

I'd like a little feedback, though ...

I have removed my radio and am installing a 3 guage cluster in it's place: Oil Pressure, Oil temp and water temp. All electornic.

I have connected the guage ground and the light ground to the aluminum bar that holds the guage in place and jumpered all 3 bars together. I will run an engine ground through the firewall and terminate it to an engine ground, thus giving a common ground for everything.

I also installed jumpers to all the necessary 12V points ... the lights and guage power. I have a 3A fuse in line. I will get this power from the fuse panel.

Finally, I will run all the individual sender wires to the proper points.

I will install a molex connector so that it all plugs in for easy removal.

Sound like I'm on the right track?

And thanks, Kevin.
After looking at the "installed" pic, it appears the Oil Pressure guage (center one) is crooked.

I went and checked and it appears to be aligned with the other 2. Must be some sort of funky camera/optics thing ...
