    New Gauge Wiring

    Thanks chengny for bearing with me and trying to help. I have put all new after market gauges in and have taken out the printed circuit. 1. The old gas gauge was hit or miss but that and the speedometer were the only gauges in the cluster when I bought the truck. 2. I’ve got all 8000...

    New Gauge Wiring

    Well I tried hooking up the pink wire (pin #18) to the sender on the new gauge. It does nothing. I tried pin 7, 7 and 18, etc. not getting anything. Any suggestions?

    New Gauge Wiring

    No, I just have one after market fuel gauge. I’m hoping to get it to function as being able to see the fuel level on whatever tank I’m using.

    New Gauge Wiring

    Ok, I’ve got my gauges all ready to go. Just a few questions. 1. I’ve got dual tanks. How do I hook up the new gauge? Which wires from the harness do I hook to the fuel sender on the gauge? Will it show me the level on each tank when I switch the tank via the switch? 2. Which wire do I...

    Building Gauge Cluster

    That is a good idea and might work. I guess it might just be a matter of finding the right wires to tap into and running an LED light to it. I’m just not entirely sure what doesn’t work with the circuit board being disconnected.

    Building Gauge Cluster

    I’m looking into replacing the factory gauges with something like Equus or AutoMeter. My concern is with the wiring. How do I incorporate the turn signals, high beams, etc, with a new gauge installation? If I’m installing individual gauges into the bezel, it seems like I will lose the...

    Yeah, it looks like that has to be it. Here’s a couple better pics of mine.

    Well if you are sure that’s the one I need to tap into, then I will keep pursuing it. They don’t have any vacuum lines that small. How can I piece this together?

    Well I cut the end of the line off (about an inch) to take it down to the auto shop to match things up. They said that it definitely was not a vacuum line. The line is tiny, maybe like a 1/16 of an inch. So I’m back trying to figure this out again.

    Does this look like the right one?

    HVAC Vacuum setup

    Chengny, this is such excellent info! Thank you. The only question I have (right now) is where does the vacuum line enter through the firewall. Is it over by the vacuum ball reservoir or is it over where the red arrow is in your picture close to the blower motor? Thanks again for such great...

    HVAC Vacuum setup

    I had not planned to worry about the cruise control yet. I've been more concerned with getting the vacuum lines sorted out for the hvac but they are certainly all inter-related. I had no idea there was a vacuum line attached to the back of the brake pedal. Is there any more parts associated...

    This is so very helpful! Thank you so much. Looks like I need that check valve, some vacuum tubing and maybe that cruise control Servo!!

    HVAC Vacuum setup

    Hi all, 1985 c10 Silverado with AC. The compressor has been taken out so that’s not setup right now. Previous owner put a new rebuilt 355 in. All is running good, however it seems in the process, everything related to hvac under the hood is not there. Other than the blower motor and the...
