Found a nice SW 2 5/8" vacuum gauge that matches the stock gauges almost perfect. Since the clock doesn't work that would be the place for it. I like the stock lighting and dimmer knob. Any chance of using the stock light or modding the Stewart-Warner light to match the other gauges?

Also, is it possible to get at the clock by removing the glove box liner and not the dash?

I read the link from zhome.com about gauges - the photo of the back of the stock gauge makes keeping the stock gauge light seem unlikely, not sure though.

You can remove the clock by either removing the glove box liner or the center Heat/Vent control panel. Glove box liner is probably easier.

Good to know. I know a mechanic that can remove or replace a Z dash in about 5 minutes, but I figure it would take me about 5 days.

I get to the trio gauges by removing the heater control panel.

The bulb in the SW should be a simple incandescent bulb that will interface with the stock wiring without issue. It will dim along with the rest of the gauges.

If the lighting is white and not green, you can buy gauge bulb covers in a green colour to make the illuminating green. Auto Meter sells these. They actually include, or at least used to include green and red covers with their gauges. I have a bunch of these covers kicking around because of that.

Found the bulb covers same place that has the vac gauge, thanks. Was going to just use part of a green plastic bag if necessary but these are cheap.
