Well I'm rebuilding an old worn out off road suburban.
Shes got a good frame and body with little rust.
350 5.7 4bb quadrojet muncie 465 manual.

My current tackle is getting rid of the dummie lights,
I have a gauge cluster from a 86 (I think/junk yard purchases)
and I see that some wires will need to be swamped but
I'm hearing people talking about extra add on senders and wires and such?
So ......
Has anyone done a swap around this year that can clear up any problems that I may face ?

The engine that I put in it was from a 1977 pick up truck.

Now as I have NO chevy/gm experience I'm learning as I go
And have gotten alot of help from folks on the internet,
Thank You in advance : )

Nice catch. Let the fun begin!

You'll have to change sensors but, you can trace the wires to your dash and not have to add any. Check out the wiring diagrams that are available on this site.
