Do you have any idea what the cluster with the 60 psi oil pressure and the electric temperature gage came off? That one will work very nicely if you re engine to a 235 or 261. As the later engines have a lot more oil pressure and on the standard gage the needle just sits at top peg. The electric temperature gage will also be interesting as some of the later engines have an electric sensor just under the thermostat at the front of the engine. May take a little playing around to find the correct sender unit or to match/trim the resistance to get a proper reading.

Looks like you are making real good progress.

Cheers Phil
