Dashboard Removal and Installation

1. Remove the existing dash cluster from the vehicle. Separate the front bezel from the back housing and gauges. (You will not need to re-use the back housing.)
2. Remove the bezel from the old assembly.
3. Attach the acrylic lens to the front of the panel, using provided mounting kit.
4. Attach the new panel to the rear of the bezel, re-using the original screws and other hardware.
5. Wire the gauges and sending units to the panel as indicated by the instructions below.

Wiring Instructions

Note: Automotive circuit connectors are the preferred method of connecting wires. However, you may solder if you prefer.

Ground - Black

This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from this board to the vehicle's engine block ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure sufficient grounding. Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables to the battery, frame, and firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block, senders, or digital dash panels can cause incorrect or erratic operation.

Power - Red

Connect the power terminal to accessory + 12V power from the fuse panel or vehicle wiring harness. This terminal should have power when the key is on or in accessory position. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a sufficient power feed.

Dimmer - Purple

Connect to the parking lights to dim the LEDs 50% when the headlights are on. However, do not connect to the headlight rheostat control wire, or the dimming feature will not work properly.

Turn Signals - Grey

Two 18-gauge wires, one for each signal. Each wire is labeled on the printed circuit board as 'LEFT' or 'RIGHT'. Connect each wire to its corresponding indicator circuit.

High-Beam - Brown

Connect the brown wire on the speedometer panel to your high beam headlight.

Brake - Tan

Connect to the brake indicator.

Oil Pressure - Orange

Replace the existing oil pressure sending unit with the unit included. Do not use Teflon tape or other sealer on the new sending unit's threads. This will avoid inaccurate ground connections as the sending units get their ground from the threads. The oil sender gets its ground from the threading into the engine block, thus proper grounding is crucial. Connect to the sending unit.

Water - Blue

This gauge is incompatible with other sending units, so you must replace the existing water temperature sending unit with the included sender. Do not use Teflon tape or other sealer on the new sending unit's threads to avoid inaccurate readings. Connect the blue wire to the sending unit.

Trip/Cal Button - Grey

There are grey wires connected to the push-button on the speedometer board. Mount the switch in a convenient location such as under the steering column so that you may easily reset your trip odometer or other speedometer functions.

Fuel - Yellow

Connect to the factory fuel sending unit. Fuel switch settings should both be in the up position on the panel, as illustrated. Note: The default setting for this dash is the GM industry standard of 0-90Q

Speedometer - White

Connect to the corresponding White wire on the sending unit or the output of your transmission. (Connect the other speedometer sending unit wire to the ground, preferably to the same exact location as the gauge ground.)

Tachometer - Green

Connect the wire from the tachometer to the negative terminal of the coil or a direct tach output lead from your distributor or electronic control module. If you are using an aftermarket capacitive discharge ignition system, such as an MSD, you must use the designated 'tach output' connection on the electronic box. Do not make any connections directly to the coil with this type of system.

Tachometer and Speedometer Operation

This tachometer is initially calibrated for use with 8 cylinder engines. If you are using it with a 4 or 6 cylinder engines, you must recalibrate the tach for your specific application by pushing the selector button in accordance with the programming modes shown below.

Modes

After installing your speedometer according to the wiring instructions, with the ignition on, the speedometer will be in Speedometer only mode. The speedometer leaves our factory with an industry standard pre-set calibration of 8000 pulses per mile. You may recalibrate the gauge for your specific application. To accomplish this, locate a measured mile where you can safely start and stop your vehicle. By running the vehicle over this measured distance, the speedometer will learn the number of pulses outputted by the speedometer sensor during a specific measured distance. It will then use this acquired data to calibrate itself for accurate reading.

Instructions

This electronic speedometer/tachometer displays your speed and rpm reading. It also includes an odometer, trip meter, high speed recall, 0-60 time and 1/4 mile elapsed time (ET). It can also be calibrated with the push of a button to adjust the gauge for different tire sizes, wheel sizes and gear ratios. The odometer and trip odometer can switch back and forth by gently tapping the push button. While in Trip mode, if you press and "HOLD" the button, the trip meter will reset to zero. In odometer mode, if you press and "HOLD" the button, the performance data will then be displayed, in addition to "CAL" mode which will allow you to again "TAP" to reprogram the pulses per mile stored info.

When in speedometer only mode, press in and hold selector switch until it starts to run through the various functions. The chart below shows what each display mode is and how to utilize that function.

While "CAL" is being displayed, press the pushbutton briefly one time. This will put the speedometer in Program Mode. It is very important that you drive to the end of the measured mile and tap the button again. ⚠️ WARNING: If while in "CAL" mode you do not move at all and press the button again, the microprocessor will NOT have received any data whatsoever and the unit will need to be sent back to the factory for reprogramming. At a minimum, drive some distance and you can always go back and start again if need be. If you miss stopping the display at "CAL", simply repeat the steps. With "CAL" displayed, the speedometer is now waiting to record the pulse count data accumulated over the measured mile. When you are ready to begin driving, press the pushbutton once. The odometer will display the incoming pulse count. Drive the vehicle through the measured mile (speed is not important). As you move, the odometer will begin showing the speedometer pulses as they are being counted. At the end of the mile, stop and press the pushbutton again. The odometer will now display the number of speedometer pulses that were registered over the distance.

Trip Distance

A single tap of the recall button will activate the trip meter in the odometer display. A decimal point will appear which will indicate that you are in trip meter mode. Holding the recall button will clear out the trip distance. To return to the default odometer display, tap the recall button again. The decimal point will disappear, indicating that you are back in the default odometer display.

Setting the Odometer

While scrolling through 'CAL' mode you will see 'ODO' appear. This will allow you to enter the vehicle's actual mileage. Press the trip button again at this point and you will enter the odometer set up mode. Press quickly to change the number of the digit on the right. Press and hold to advance to the next digit. Do this for all 5 digits. For Example: To enter the mileage reading 23456 into the odometer, at the 'ODO' prompt, tap the small black button (quickly) two times, until the number 2 is displayed. Then press and hold the button until the numbers 20 are displayed. Tap the button 3 times until 23 is displayed. Press and hold the button until 230 is displayed, and continue in this manner until 23456 is displayed. The speedometer will advance to the home screen, five seconds after the last number is entered.

Recording and Viewing Performance Data

1. Before each run, your car must be at a complete stop at the starting position. Press and hold the push-button as it cycles through the performance data. At the end, the odometer will reset and all performance data will be cleared. This will not affect your stored calibration value or the odometer reading.
2. Press the push-button until 'HI-SP' is displayed. The gauge will automatically cycle through the performance data.
3. Start the run, pass, session, etc., as mentioned above.
4. When finished, repeat Step 2 to view the data gathered from the run. While stopped, you can view this data as often as you wish. However, once it finishes scrolling one time, the memory is ready to record new data and will begin recording again once the vehicle starts to move. The highest speed measured over multiple runs will be retained in memory.
