Autometer Gauges in 68 Camaro

[all wired]

I was looking to see if anyone has modified their stock cluster and installed an autometer gauge setup. I would like to mount this set in my car, but Im not sure what kind of problem Im going to run into.

Here are the gauges:

The wiring is not a problem, but Im worried that it may look like crap/cheesy

any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think it would look fine. Someone posted info from Classic Instruments a couple months back that had a similar set up.

Do you plan on running a tach with the Auto Meters?

Yeah, I came across those gauges a while back, they aren't exactly what I'm looking for and I dont want to drop 1k on something that isnt exact.
The autometer is real close the the optimal look Im going for. I'm trying to find the perfect blend of classic vs modern.

I mounted the 5" ones in my cluster, never installed it, because I went to a Covans panel,

We have done a lot of 5" gauge installes over the years. It is almost like the cluster was made for it. Just take out the old ones and slide these through the front. You have to do a little retainer fab, but no rocket science to it.

Yup Frank is right- just like it was made for it

Here are some referance pictures for you. I had these before converting to the covans setup.







You have to trim the autometer U brackets to make it fit, pretty easy. Hope this helps!
