Thanks...tryin g to figure how to cock the speedometer toward the center as it is offset to the left of the column.  It will cock, but need to rivet a brace in place to keep it from straightening out....only thing  that works on the factory cluster is the speedometer, and, sometimes, the fuel gauge....I am not losing much.

I bought a collection of gauges on Ebay a couple of years ago...might be one of my few good purchases  :)

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

BTW, ten years after you told me that plastic oil lines would never last, I bought a braided line for this oil gauge just in case you turn out to be right!  :D  Hope it is long enuf.

Okay, bought new sockets and managed to get the bulbs out so I could install leds.  Almost there.

Okay, quit playing with Buicks and back on this.  Hard to remember how the damn thing was installed.  Carpets are next if I can get all the wrinkles out from being stored in the box for a year and a half
