Dunno if this has been done before but I searched and didn't find it.
I want to replace the fancy clock in my '68 XR7 with a vacuum gauge. Anybody done this already? Are there any problems associated with doing it? I'm assuming the right way to go would be to T the vacuum feed to the headlight system (upstream from the check valve) or upstream of the brake boost, but if that's not the best way to go, I would be happy to know the right way.
Also, I'd probably want to sell the clock to someone like WCCC to use as a core, but I guess that's a phonecall to them not a question for this thread.
If anybody's done it, or has suggestions as to how to best do it or why not to do it, I'm all ears! And if it's a good move like I think it is, gauge recommendations are greatly appreciated as well.
Getting the vac line through the firewall is the trickiest part, right?
