Default My 1978 Gauge problem!

After about 6 months, i finally got problem solved. It originally started, when i had a CD player installed in my 78. After pulling out, i noticed my temp gauge and oil pressure gauge did not work, along with power antenna. went back store to tell them of problem, and they said they did nothing to create this problem. I thought they had blew out the printed circuit. WRONG! Found a mechanic that is really up on corvettes. He came to my house, and within 15 minutes, had dash apart, and problem corrected. He showed me what they did. Connections were bent, and not makeing contact. He straightened copper connections, and now it works fine. Total of $30.00 to correct a headache I had for the last 6 months.
Email me with any problems u may of had.

Looking for black leather seats out of a 79, for my 78. I have a back problem, and need alot more support. Figure the 79 seats may help problem. 412-384-6322
