I have a 68 Dart
That said, the only usable gauge is the fuel. Its occurred to me that It might be interesting to do a custom cluster in its place. The speedo in the stock cluster is stripped, hence my consideration.

Most of the guages (Water Temp, Oil Pressure, and Volts) I already have mounted elsewhere, along with a clever mounting of a tach.
I'm just looking to see if anyone has some wise words, recommended companys, and anything else that may be of help

Edit:In my reasurch, a question has arisen. What is the resistance the fuel gage is looking for. I have seen 0-90 Ohms and 70-10 Ohms

There was a post here by somebody making custom panels for A bodies instrument clusters. I am wondering if a speedometer out of a 4 speed '72 Charger will work in an automatic '74 Dart? I have a 150mph speedo from my old Charger and think the round gauges would look cooler than the stock square stuff. Any tips?
