by Jim_Rockford Tue Jun 23, 2015 7:55 amAnyone swapped in a gauge cluster with gauges instead of idiot lights ? guy I got my van from gave me a cluster from like a Nova and it looks like the same shape after I swap out the outer trim and change out the senders and should have gauges. Its a 69 sportvan g20 for info.

I was reading into that myself, I think it's the 63-65 Nova cluster fits. I think I have read that a slight mod is needed but nothing extravagant.

I think the second gen vans have re-purposed Nova cluster, just as the first gen clusters were originally corvair....... The second gen clusters had full gauges as an option and I've got em.... so I wont be needing to confirm the Nova connection for myself..... Anybody?

I bought the same cluster from a member on this site a while back. It's the same as the Nova, even the outer trim should be the same. I haven't installed mine yet, just not at the top of my list.

I used a gauge cluster from a 77 Chevy Van... Bezel fit right on and if I remember right, all the colors from the 77 harness matched up with my 67. Was real easy! Also used the sending units from the donor Van.. Temp sensor, oil psi.. I'm pretty sure the speedo cable was different but just ordered a new one with the correct end.

Yep that's the one! Thought about cutting the center out and installing a tach.
