Auto Meter Cobalt Electric Voltmeter Gauge--disconnected the connectors from my fuel and temp gauges and removed both. Replaced with the Cobalt
analog clock on the left side and the voltage gauge on the right side. Had to run a wire to battery for the clock. Connections were made at the gauge for
the voltmeter.

This will only work if you disconnect both aux guages at the same time. Your fuel and temp gauges will be displayed in the digital read out as bars on
either side of the main display.

Good to see you back posting. hope you had a great trip down to eureka.

Take care,

I did about the same except I used the Autometer Cobalt oil pressure gauge on the right.

I used auto meter gauges for the VM and the Op gauges.

The factory wiring for the fuel gauge that is removed has batt volts and ground. Connection is very easy.

I use a Battery Bug as shown here. It not only shows voltage but also shows a percent that indicates the health of the battery. When the percent gets down to about 10% it's time for a new battery!

The only problem is they aren't being manufactured anymore because the company lost a patent lawsuit, but you might be able to find on eBay.
