      Love this look I'm thinking of doing something similar.....any tips or tricks that might be helpful...I was actually looking at going with auto meter gauges trying to figure out how to get the shift light in there also

      I am working with Speedhut right now to retro-fit some gauges for the Camaro. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff - esp considering I'm asking for something completely custom. Answered all my questions and I'm looking forward to seeing what we collectively come up with. I will be sure to post back the results.

      So...with the GPS speedo.....there's no need to wire it to a VSS? Do I have that correct?

      Basw, what are you putting them in?
      I can't see any way that you could wire the gps speedo to the vss. If you're doing the LS thing your pcm needs the vss signal though.
      Some other guy on ls1tech put these in his chevelle, I'm working on mine and doing basically the same thing. It's a pretty easy job it seems, it's just a kind of 'work with what you have' type of project. Will never use autometer stuff again.

      VSS?

      I have a full set of these Speed Huts with the GPS speedo.. and will be installing them over the next few weeks.. so I will update my build thread with the info. They do look great in the box though. lol

      I like the fact you can completely customize these, w/o gaudy brand name logos. Speed Hut is one of those companies that you like to support... US made and great service.

      My Viper T-56 has a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) in the tailshaft to keep the EFI and speedo up to date with the vehicle's speed.

      No need for the VSS when you use the GPS speedo. Lets me use the VSS for cruise control or engine management.

      Here are mine... The face is light blue with black numbers at night. These are the standard gauges but I did get the Revolution GPS speedo with 1/4 time, etc. I'm looking forward to an accurate set of gauges.

      Tony, are you going to mount these in stock dash or are you doing something custom?

      Those look pretty cool. I saved the link in my favorites for when it's time to update the El Camino.

      These have got to be the easiest decision made my whole car. Light years ahead of AM stuff and the price is right too.

      WOW hard to believe I just found these looking around and posted up and a bunch of people are actually looking and using them!
      Kind of warms the soul a little.
      Ok OK maybe not but its sure is cool to see people liking and using something I found and intend to use also.

      A pic of some in a 71 chevelle. Not sure what to do about the smaller stock gauges, might just cover them.

      Wow! These look great. I really dig the shift light built into the tach. Does anyone have pic or first hand experience on how bright the built in shift light is in real driving conditions during the day? Might be some AM gauges on the classifieds here in the next couple days. Good find!

      Those look pretty nice.
      I couldn't make up my mind and got the New Vintage 1969 series but now I'm reconsidering.

      Saw another guys SpeedHut gauges for his Chevelle.

      SO SOLD when the time comes. Tony the silver face looks BA. Once you get them in and powered up a night pic would be great.
