    Default v6 level3 into a v8?

    i've got a v6 with a level 3, but gathering everything up to do a v8 conversion.
    88greenvn (props) said that the tacho and temp gauge need to be changed to work as a v8 cluster.
    what specifically do i need to do for this (i know i could pm him, but i thought i'd put the info out for anyone else as well)
    will ihave to pull these 2 gauges from a v8 cluster. or is it something like changing a jumper on a pcb?

    I'll be converting the stack of V6 tacho's to V8 units over the next few weeks.

    As for the temp gauge the V6 unit will work no probs - it will just be out a smidge that's all.

    Should be the same - but it could be the speed sensor as well.

    The speedo it's self will be the same
