The volts gauge works well and just needs a good cleaning. It'll be $1500 by the time I'm done...
You know, I have NEVER heard of someone doing a gauge swap doing this;
I wonder what's all involved in calibrating these gauges;
I wonder if when done, they will read more accurately than they ever did from the factory!?

I don't think it's possible for Dennis to do anything half-assed - that's probably why I always like to follow the threads about his and his brothers stuff!
