Keeping the snow off the cars covers currently hiding my 1994 and 1996 Cutlass Supremes. We're going to get another foot or so THU/FRI so that task is ongoing...…….

For the 1979's, I've worked on and have a gauge pod reworked and ready to be installed in my 1979 Hurst Olds. The gauge pod includes one of those new Printed Circuit Boards now being sold by The Parts Place. I also bought one of their tachs for the 1981 - 1988 Cutlass with the idea of taking the modernized printed circuit board off that and installing it on the NOS 1978-1980 unit I have. No more orange pin! I hope this works, I note it has 4 poles in the back compared to only 3 poles on the 79 board I removed. I think it should and if it does I will be getting another one for my 79 blue Calais.

The orange junk connector I soldered across the two leads solved the tach problem.
