    After seeing the recent "kusstum" gauge cluster on here it made me realize I'd need all new gauges to replace the stock ones. Now iirc the proper phms for the stock fuel sender is 10 full 78 empty. The closest I can find for that is this autometer gauge. As far as the speedometer I want something like this.
    What do I need to keep in mind for the speedometer? Can I get a "plug and play" one to work with the stock cable or will I need new cable no matter what I do? I'm excited about the new cluster coming soon and I'm trying getting through the planning stage ahead of time.

    that one will work with the stock cable. you can stick the cable end on the back of the speedo. it wont screw or lock on. it will work. you can use tape or be creative with how you want to keep it on. on mine it just stayed on on its own. i got a new cable when i made my custom dash because the speedo was further away from the firewall.
