Rally Gauge Swap Debugging
Had a set of rally gauges restored by Pete Serio a few months back and they look fantastic. After some work refreshing the dash, I finally swapped my idiot lights out for the new gauges. I did the 5/7 wire swap and unplugged the dark green wire from the ignition switch - the temp and oil pressure appear to be working great, but I think I've got a couple other issues to resolve.
1) The lights for the rally gauges are really bright. They're so bright, I'm not sure if the rest of the lights in the pod are working. Specifically, if I take out a bulb for the speedo, it doesn't seem to make a difference. The clock lights are clearly working as it's a contained unit. 2) My gas gauge doesn't appear to be working. It's on E, but it's not buried. It's been a while since I've driven the car, but I'm pretty sure it's got at least a 1/4 if not a 1/2 tank. I don't think any of the wiring changed for the gas gauge so I'm not sure what's causing this. Usually these things end up being caused by a bad ground somewhere, but I'm not sure what I might be missing. Any one who has done the swap or has rally gauges have any input? Maybe I should start by putting more gas in to see if the gauge is really broken Some pics of Pete's awesome work for reference:
