    The tranny is a 700r4 which I know very little about and need to do some research as it has a very hard shift coming out of 1st.Have added a pic of the interior as I am presently using the original gas tank and so that only leaves room for that center guage cluster which will be tough to add extra guages.That was why I was thinking electronic as the cable may be hard to route.

    That 700R4 - make sure the TV cable is adjusted correctly - that misadjustment seems to be the death of many of these transmissions

    If you are still using that cowl gas tank, before you purchase any gauges, check the depth between the dash and tank. Some Hot Rod style gauges use a bulky plug which adds significant depth - Auto Meter has posts for connections, but is still over 2.25". VDO is 2.9" but has a plug and wires that add another 1" or so. Others are probably similar. Consider going with another gas tank, maybe (myself, I don't care much for 10 gallons of hi-test near my lap on an 85 year old car)

    I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
