Re: Changing from Junior to senior gauges

The Clipper speedo doesn't have a 'trip meter' so I'll see if the senior odometer can be changed to match my old mileage. I thought that the wiring would need some tweaking from the wiring diagrams. Now it's confirmed with your excellent explanations. I did anticipate the oil sender difference and got a used one from the same instrument cluster source.

It's funny that you mentioned the radio. I just got mine back from Bob's Radio Restoration in Californiahttp://www.bobsradio.com I had the works done (AM mono to AM/FM/Aux Input w/4 channel stereo. Modern unit without changing the original factory AM wonderbar look. The wonderbar works better than ever. The unfortunate thing is that I had it done before I thought of changing the gauges, it's still got the dark dial face

My car is having the interior completely reupholstered and repainted. While it's happening, now is my chance to complete the instrument cluster change (ease of access). I'll keep you posted on the progress and include some final pictures.
