Rally dash conversion........

[rgp266]

I have a '73 RR with the standard Rally dash which I would like to convert to a Tach. dash using the modern gauge that looks stock and the better Rally gauges again that look stock but have modern works. I don't see specific gauges for the 71-4 RR but I do see gauges for an E body dash. Can I substitute the E body gauges? I am aware that the E body panel is slightly wider than the B body panel.

The E-body tach won't work. Classic has the 71-4B tach. Also the cluster frame is different between the standard Rallye and the clock/tach Rallye.

I was not referring to the E body Tach but to the other gauges.....Amps, Oil Pressure, Temperature, and Fuel level. I am aware of the dash frame differences also. I have a frame that has been "adjusted" to allow the Tach to fit.

frames are diff but like you noticed, it got marks to be cut/modified to convert it to clock/tach cluster

no, E body gauges are diff diameter aspect.

Honestly, is way easier and can be even cheaper get a complete cluster instead convert it

I have a ratty Rally cluster but all the gauges need to be refurbished and that ain't cheap. It also beats the hell out of a retired fallows fixed income. What I wanted to do is retain the stock look but have modern internals for the gauges. Fall back plan is to use the replacement tach from Classic industries, fit a couple of Auto-Meter gauges in the pods, probably Temperature and Oil Pressure, hang the other 2, Fuel Level and Volts, under the dash and rock off into the sunset.

maybe this is not the cheaper you can find around

but if seller is able to test for working condition gauges ( oil, gas and temp ) I think this still could beat any autometer combo and mod
