New Guages

[GPKidd_4_Life]

I went to the Pick and Pull today and i got the guages i wanted. I got them off of a 90 TGP. Here are some before and after pics.

Sorry about the blurryness (if that is a word) My camera was acting like an ass....

And yes the Guages i got have the infamous "low fuel" light stuck on. Eventually i will get sick of looking at it and fix it.

But itz ok for now.

think you can get the vin off the TGP for our database? whats left of it? louvers? AQ9's (seats)?

Are you sure it was out of a TGP? It should have had INTERCOOLED TURBO written where the gear selection normally is and instead of a battery gauge, TGPs have a boost gauge... That is unless the TGP had a replacement cluster in it..

 

Aren't you in Arizona? Which junkyard did you go to? If that truely was a TGP, I am going to have a field day

[GPKidd_4_Life]

Im actually gonna go back tomorrow. I dont remember seeing any louvers at all. I might be getting the seats out of it. But it was pretty messed up. it had been in an accident. Rear ended....totaled. So i took the guage cluster, glove box, and the outside mirror. Im gonna go back tomorrow and try to get the seats. They were power and in GREAT shape. I also want the visors because they have mirrors and mine dont.

Well maybe it wasnt a TGP but it had the front end like one. Well it probably was just a 90 GP then. But it had the column shifter. I went to the Pick and Pull on Chandler Rd. and 56th Street. Im goin back tomorrow LOL we should meet up there

[AL]

if it had column then it wasnt a turbo GP

If it had column shift, it wasn't a TGP then. I wish I could, but I have school on weekdays 1-6 PM

[GPKidd_4_Life]

O ok....well it wasnt a TGP then. But it was in pretty good condition from what i could see. Im going to see what else i can get off of it. My heart was hurting from all of the W-Bodies i saw. It had to be at least 7-10 CS's, about 6 GP's and a few Regals and Luminas. I wanted them ALL LOL

why is the oil pressure guage through the roof

 

I have no idea. Im gonna check on that tomorrow morning. IDK wut tha prob is...

[GP1138]

Because GP's without the full gauges only have an oil pressure switch (ON/OFF) rather than an actual sender that reads the exact value. The switch is in the ON position, if it was OFF the dummy light would come on. Make sense?

 

You need to get a sender from a car that has the rally gauges.
