FINALLY!!!!!!!
Installed my 3 gauge A-Pillar cluster. I need to wrap up the wiring tonight. But I finally installed it. I made a wire loom because between the three gauges, there are 4 common wires (ground, 12v hot, 12v ign, illumination); I tied them together, respectively.
I soldered in the wire for the tach signal. So that's good to go. I just need a new oil pressure switch that's compatable with a gauge (instead of a dummy light).
I've only driven the car to work (5.5mi), but man that vacuum gauge is fun!
Pics.

At the end of next week will be the first road trip I'll take with the Tank since joining EcoModder. Really looking forward to the results. I'm heading to one of my other forums (GrandMarq.NET) annual meet. I'll post up the 1/4 times and the dyno results of what the Tank does.
