Has anyone discussed the Parts place rally pack for 1970-72 ? I was told that it is a exact reproduction. The set for under 500.00

 

These posts should help you, esp. the middle one.

Thank you Sir. Looks like you did nice work.

 

Thanks - I am quite happy with the results!

 

wow very nice job!!!!!!!!!!! my original gagues are very very dim im going 2 try 2 do what you did, i just had my ttt rebuilt check it out, red line tach did a great job but it ended up costing me $350 that was $120 more than i was quoted so i would of been better off just buying a aftermarket set and selling my originals on ebay but owell lesson learned

 

My car had the ralley gauge but someone removed the tach and put a clock there. Since they only sell the repros as a pair, I bought those. They are very close to original on the face that you see once installed. The housings on mine were metal. The lettering is just (barely) slightly different and I also heard the tach needle is not exact (wider on the repro). However, mine worked and look well and I put in brighter 168 bulbs (versus 194) and it seems fine. I may do the painting upgrade previously mentioned but they don;t look bad as is with brighter bulbs. It is also possible the newer versions were upgraded with better painting by the Parts Place.

 

I sure hope they fixed that - mine were hideous! Even with 168's, no lettering was visible.

Many thanks!
