[oOSparkyOo]

Hi again i was looking at my vk dash and noticed the gauge on it was KPA how would i go about getting it changed to RPM did any of the other models have a different dash to the SL/E

Thankyou for any help u can give me im new to all this converting and tinkering with cars for anyone who thinks im just an idiot

This gauge on the instrument cluster is for the air pressure for the inlet manifold.
What you could do is replace this gauge with either an ammeter for the alternator
or a gauge that measures the frequency of the AC because both of these
principles are directly related to the rate at which the engine turns.

If you take off your dash and trace the wires for the electric motor fot the kpa meter
back to its source you can then link an ammeter to the alternator making sure that
the current is run through a transformer, that way it wont blow out the E/M for
the gauge.

The simplest way really, is to replace the VK instrument cluster with one from a VL
but that means you have to completely remove the VK I/C and rewire the whole thing
when fitting the VL I/C.

Thats the same thing I'm doing on me VK

ty for the reply is it easy to rewire the vl i/c ?
