I've sent over a dozen 70 Chevelle clusters to Gary at H&H auto with excellent results.He will even go the extra mile and not silk screen or polish up an original if it's not really necessary.He understands the importance of orginal authentic appearance being first and foremost,and if that's not possible,he'll restore it to better then new.
He's also known as the Tachman.

www.instrument-specialties.com

This is my company. I have all the original negatives and ink formulas from AC Delco, the original manufacturer of these gauges. I use the factory original silkscreening process, not decals, overlays, hot stamping or pad printing like the competition.

If you have a nice original set, I have a special solvent cleaning process to renew them and can re-screen redlines only if needed.

Please check out my website. I'm happy to help.

This is a little off topic so sorry, I have replaced the sending unit for my temp gauge and it is not functioning, Assuming that there may be some wiring issues how do you test a factory gauge? Is the only way to remove it and place a sending unit in hot water????

Is your gauge doing anything at all? A common problem is too much plumbers tape on the sender threads.
