For anyone interested in Speedhut gauges Speedhut is having a "Black Friday" sale this weekend. If you want the best price on Speedhut gauges this is probably it.
I just bought a 4" speedo, 3 3/8" tach & 4" quad to replace the stock gauges in my 64 chevelle. I have been watching the pricing on this set of guages for the last year or so and the 25% special was more than I could pass up.
Cant wait to get them installed, they look awesome.

Yeah I ordered gauges last week from Speedhut and to be honest its been a little bit frustrating. When I spoke to them on the phone to place the order I was under the impression that I was getting the Thanksgiving sale discount. Turns out I didn't and I could have saved another $50 by waiting until this weekend, so hopefully they make this right and give me the true sale price but I won't know anything until Monday. Also on the phone I asked about removing the "revolution logo" and I was informed that there was no charge to do so. The next day I get an email with my invoice and they charged me $40 ($10 per gauge) to remove it. This is kinda bad business practice because the person I ordered the gauges from on the phone gave me a total which I approved to be charged to my credit card and then they simply tack on an extra $40... Ended up discussing it with them and they agreed to refund half so $20 was a charge for something they told me there was no charge for. Then there was the $50 charge to rotate their "dual guages" from being side to side to top and bottom like I wanted, which I don't have a problem with because yes it is a custom thing that they just can't slap another copy out.
I guess all I'm getting at is make sure you understand that they find ways to get "extras" out of you.

Are these just plug and play for LS motors in musclecars? I am still struggling (sent my gauges out in the spring for a guy to modify for electronic and can't get out of him). these are great price ($453 for tach, electronic speedo and quad gauge). I'm thinking of just getting these if I can cancel the mod to my gauges. Anybody install these yet in an old gm musclecar? How straightforward?
Thx!
Thx!

What sort of dash do you have? On page 12 and 13 of my build thread I have my progress with the gauges so far. Was actually about to go try and get everything wired up later today, weather permitting. The level of plug and playability will depend on how you set your motor and gauges up the first time, but in my case the mounting of senders themselves turned out to be the easiest aspect of the process so far. Getting the gauges in depends on your dash I guess.

From the factory the dash in my 64 has a 4" speedo, 4" quad, and 3 3/8" tach. The speedhut 4" gauges will fit perfectly but the tach will be very tight, may have to do some sort of slight mod to either the dash or gauge to get it to look right.
The thing I like about the speedhut gauges is I could pick the proper colors so after installed they will look almost exactly like the factory setup, both day and night.

I wish I was further along in my swap than I am so I could purchase a set of gauges. They look pretty nice. Thanks for letting me know about this place. I've never heard of them and will look into their gauges when I'm ready. Does anyone know how easy/well they work with a Painless LS1 Wiring Harness becaue thats what I may end up going with if I don't find something cheaper.

So I just want to say that Speedhut has really gone above and beyond and their customer service is second to none! They agreed to go back and give me the Thanksgiving sale discount that there was some confusion on when I placed my order, and they refunded the rest of the charge for removing their logo because they did say there was no charge at first. I'm really impressed with how they handled this and from everything I have read and seen online about their gauges I'm sure I will be equally impressed with the product that I receive. Can't wait to get them!!
