There are only 4 connectors to hook into the inverter, not a fifth for the AC panel, so do I need a seperate inverter?

How do you get the HI/LOW knob off, the others just pulled right off.

RAWBURT, how did you connect your HL AND AC panels?

The inverter only allows 4 connections, did you splice into it?

start the car without the tach needle on. once the car is at idle, stick the needle back on where your car usually idles. i know i can come pretty dang close to guessing where my car is idling, especially with the poly roll resistor that lets me feel every dang vibration. depending on the shake, i can tell about where i am at. thats probably the closest you'll get. i think dealers can recalibrate for you if you want.

Well if you want to hook your HVAC or HL in with your gauges, then you need a Y-splitter which street racer parts sells for $5 a piece.

You would think they would have included this with our sets?

Finally after 6 hours this evening, my gauges and HVAC are alive and looking good!

The SVT did suffer a casualty during the installation
The center consol panels that wrap around to the sides, there is a screw that goes on each side, well I broke one of the sides, so the panel is flapping around loosely, damn!

For anyone else that accidentally knocked off their tach needle... there is a thread in troubleshooting (tach recalibration) Just posting this so I don't jack the thread.
