Joel,
Thanks. I guess what I'm most curious about is the gauges. I mean --
regardless of where the signal comes fro, it's just wires sending signal,
right? Is a Universal fuel gauge different than another one? Is one tach gauge
different from another? Same as to temp.
A glow plug button is just a button, right? I've already replaced the
ignition. (See:

Are you saying I can't pull my tachometer and install something like
this
(http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=469511&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50366&subdeptNum=50390&classNum=50391#.UT4C5KWvgoY
) and it won't give me the same readings?
I's confused. . . . . .
All the best,
Edd
