Default fixed the stock temp gauge

well, guys i finaly did it,
i rebuilt the stock temp gauge to be more accurate on the 99-02
f-body cars, it is pretty simple, you have to do a little cutting, and soldering on the gauge cluster, but it is simple,
and you have to buy a engine coolant temp sensor off of a 98 f-body, and the metri-pack conector plug that fits it.
i am still doing the right up on it with part #'s, prices, and instructions on how to do that.
sorry about the wait.
PM. me for more info
thanks for the wait guys.

i used to have a 98 and now i have a 02 and i can't stand that dummy gauge. i end up driving around with my lap top on a lot just so i can see the temp (among other things).
