I doubt that your original gauges will work well with the VDO sending units. The original gauges are the King-Seely current matching type and VDO does not specify how their sending unit work, only thta they are designed to work only with VDO gauges. If your car is a 12 volt system, you will need a voltage drop unit connected in series with the gauges and original type sending units wit adapters to fit the threaded openings in the Chevy engine.

IMHO, you are probably more likely to find folks who can answer your questions over on the Jalopy Journal forum: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/the-hokey-ass-message-board.5/ If you have not posted there before, be sure to introduce yourself first.

Hi I have a 1941 Ford coupe that has been street rodded , and want to put the original gauges and dash back in. I have bought a new used dash and gauge cluster.The previous owner installed VDO gauges and didn't do a very good job, just cut holes in dash .My question is how can I hook up the original gauges to the 350 chevy W/ turbo 350 trans. Can I use the VDO sending units,fuel tank sending unit also ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe
