I spent like 700. Speedo is gps and the tach is a shift light style and the others are programmable with the warning lights.

Nice, I've never heard of them. About on par with Dakot Digital.

How about something like this? : A modified 66 GTO (repop) replaced GTO battery Light with Tempest Volt meter all gauges now.. 66 GTO has similar gauge face style & color as the 63.

Tempests had a ampmeter. Not sure when they started using voltmeters.

Really like the "what have could been" '63 Rally instrument clusters using the '65 & 66 Rally clusters, plan on doing something similar on my '63 LeMans. Hobbygto65, did you repurpose a '65 Rally cluster or go with partsplace repro pieces?

I cut out the battery red lens and made the hole larger and flip over the old amp gauge and epoxied it in.

I used a new repo from are sponsor, there from the Parts place thou. The only bracket that doesn't work is the one where the clock would be. Where that bolts to will have to be cut out to make room for the gauges. I planned on just putting a screw though the plastic into the metal below the gauge.

The reason I used the repo is the tach is supposed to work with HEI.

I have an electronic setup and had to use a MSD tach adapter. I put my setup together 8-9 years ago from an Ames Repop kit.
