Gauges

Is there a gauge assembly that fits in where the dummy lights are for a 72 Cutlass? Was it an option for this model? I would prefer actual gauges, never trusted dummy lights.

Yes the Rocket Rallye Pac had one instead of the idiot light(s)

Like this one on the top left and on the right.

It came with the tic-toc-tac, same speedo and the gauge in question

I added a small Auto Meter 3 gauge cluster under the dash, to left of center on my 77'. The case is black plastic, so had the paint shop mix up some satin red paint to match. Looks like it came that way. Also, found room in the dash to counter sink a small tach. Tee'd the gauge and idiot light sensors, so they both work.

Yes, they are repro'ed and can be had for about 500 clams. There are many threads here on how to convert, rewire and calibrate them. Some good info is in my link below called "rally pac stuff".

The Parts Place doesn't seem to have a very good reputation with customer service from the threads I've read so far. Anywhere else that sells these gauge pacs?

Believe it or not, $500 bucks, isn't bad for something like this. Had a buddy with an 06' Pontiac GTO, which is really an Australian Holden. The Holdens had a dash mounted gauge pod, but the US GTO's didn't. Since Australia is right hand drive, my buddy paid $500 bucks for a left hand drive job.
