New Vintage USA Gauges.

When fitting my 1968 camaro with an LQ4, I struggled as to what to do with the gauges. The original Camaro gauges are cable driven and only have Fuel and Speedo. I wanted oil pressure, speed, tach, water temp, and volts. Everyone else was hacking up their dashes like this:





To me, that is ugly and looks way too far from stock.

The other alternative is to have digital gauges, but I personally think they look out of place - they look like something that belongs in Knight Rider.

I discovered gauges from New Vintage USA and Mark Surel. These gauges are 3 in 1 gauges and have oil pressure, volts, water temp, and fuel level and tach and speedo, and are so beautiful and work with LS1 computer signals. I have been thrilled with them in my 68 Camaro. The pictures speak for themselves:




A few days back my mechanic was re-doing my wiring setup when he called me and told me my gauges had been blown. I wrote Mark and he examined the gauges and confirmed they were blown. Mark offered to replace the gauges no questions asked for free, despite the fact that more than likely I was the one who blew the gauges with incorrect wiring. The dude stands by his products and is highly recommended. That and the gauges are made in the USA. (No I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with New Vintage, just a very happy customer).

what wires were installed incorrectly? Like to know what to look out for.

I'm not sure but I think I just shorted something out.

I've never seen those gauges before; they're really nice. Great to hear about the customer service also.
