RPM and Oil pressure gauges dont work
The RPM gauge doesnt work at all and the oil pressure gauge moves around when it wants too.. Whats up? Everything else works fine

Re: RPM and Oil pressure gauges dont work
did you check the connections at the coil and pressure sender? the oil pressure guage is probably just the sender, as for the tach it could be a multitude of things

Re: RPM and Oil pressure gauges dont work
Check your wire that goes to the distributer to see if it fixes your tach. also check the sending unit for your oil pressure gauge. Mine was bouncing all over the place at one time. I finally replace the gauge AND the sending unit. Works like a champ now. Oil pressure sending unit is around 10-15 dollars. The gauges do go bad after a while. or they may never go bad. I have a 85mph cluster as well as a 110mph cluster ill sell you for 30 bucks plus shipping.
