Will a round instrument panel fit in place of the sweep

Yes it will. It is a direct bolt in replacement. this is what I am doing to my '66 because I tend to like the looks of the round gauges instead of the sweep.(personal preference) I like the metal surround better than the plastic bezel of the sweep. I have also cleaned the flat black trim ring down to the polished aluminum and have just received my white face gauge kit from http://www.whitegauges.net/products/196 ... auges.html I also bought a 66-77 bronco cluster for the extra gauges, but that is a direct bolt in also. I have not had to modify anything. Hope this helps... Anthony

Thanks Anthony
I thought it was a straight swap thing physically.
Was a little worried about speedo calibration and/or fuel sending unit ohms but I think I'm going to make the switch.
Am I correct is my understanding that the round gauge face has left and right turn signal indicators. How does that wire in

the two turn signal indicators are the only differences in the two types. i have no idea on how to rewire them though. i thought i saw a write up on that somewhere in here.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but for me it should be fairly easy. I have switched to the Bronco cluster and am installing a brand new EZ-Wire universal harness. It is set up for both lights. hopefully someone else will chime in on how to rewire for both turn signal indicators. shrug.gif :help: :help: I am hoping to put on the white face overlays tomorrow evening.
