Default clock conversion

Anyone have any info or a link on converting the clock to oil temp in a 79' ...I don't really need a clock as it doesn't work anyway and the alpine shows the time.

The easiest way is to get yourself a gauge cluster from a '81-'82. It will already have the oil temp gauge, and the stock harness will work with it minus the extra wiring you run to the oil temp sender. I'm doing it in my '77, and I am running my own wires for the sender.

Good call Matt.

You could ask MarcusK408 as his has already been done...
