Thanks for the reply, I feel like I followed the directions pretty well but I cant see the #9 & #10 connector position without taking it all apart. The directions actually say to replace the drivers side sending unit. The passenger side looks like a broken sending unit that went to a TCS that has been deleted??? I was checking the gauge with a multimeter but just ended up confusing myself. I'm taking it to my mechanic once the snow melts.

I got the sonnie24 kit to switch from idiot lights to gauges, new printed circuit, gauge and sending unit for temp. My gauge goes from zero to pegged then goes back to zero, its all over the place. If I hook the sending unit wire directly to ground it pegs. Is the sending unit bad out of the box? Can I test continuity or ohms or something with it on the car?

OK picture of the new unit. Have no pics of cars and coffee but there was over 1000 cars there, most ever

Just finished up this project, took the wiper motor off and the hood off to gain access. Running good, stopping good, Speedway motors had my parts, they used to be more of a race car shop but they have what I need for my Monte so big shout out to them. If you are ever in Lincoln NE check out their museum, it is super cool. First cars and coffee this morning there, I drove the monte (without hood)

yes I did bench bleed it. Defanetly have firm peddle. Car was idling rough when I test drove, turns out its cause I have a massive vacuum leak from my power booster.

So that master cylinder wrong, bad or both. Got a different one that is correct. Took a long time to get system bled out, but now I got firm pedal but little brakes. Diagnosed it to bad power booster. Can I get booster out without disconnecting master cylinder again. Reeeealy don't want to bleed it again.

So my master cylinder went out, ordered a new one from autozone. Ordered a NM1494 cause it looked like my original. Supposed to be new. got one that looks like the picture of a M1494, which is rebuilt. I think their website has the wrong pictures, I think what I got would work, but I want to make sure I got what I paid for. Anyone with experience with this?

So what is a barrel nut, how do you install it after paint? I'll be doing the same thing soon.

Saw this RORL on the guide and DVR'd it. Great if they are doing something for some one who deserves it but... like stated, 2 knuckle heads to LA to pick up some wheels they didnt even work on? Whatever...

I live on a gravel road so I dont like the silocone kinds they atract dust terriblly. Years ago I used a product called "new tire" it lasted a long time. Aparently they dont make it anymore. I heard water based kinds dont last. Whats everybodys favorite?

I did repin the connector. The instructions were a little intimidating at first but I feel like I did it all correctly. Installed the new temp sending unit that came with the kit. I have a meter if I knew where to check for voltage or ohlms of whatever.

I just finished installing the sonnie 24 guage package in my '70. The temp gauge was alternating from zero to max the first time I drove it, now just stays at zero. Couple cluster lights dont work, the printed circut seems a little fragile. Electronics are definatly my weak spot, any ideas how to diagnose?

Bought sonnies guage package. Leaned the dash in to remove cluster, looking at the filth behind, the snowball started rolling. Took the dash completly out cutting the ground wire on the lighter cause I couldnt figure out how to get it out. Its pretty rusty. How do you remove it?

Thanks, found what I need at Hi Tech Classics. Ordered it up yesterday.

I would like to replace my idiot lights with factory guages in my 70 454SS. A search shows sonnie24 on ebay but appartently is no longer around. Anybody got a good vendor for a kit to do this?
