Current project is the Regal Gauges. From the looks of it I might have to solder for the 4th motor to work. As is the speedo and fuel will work fine but tack will be the water temp and the water temp needle is dead. Took lots of pics but may need to resize them...

 

At the end of the day I can at least use the overlays the regal uses vs the plain ones the century has.

*Just an idea floating around not concrete* Debating on swaping out needles from diffrent cars and maybe painting/vynal wraping the shrouds.

In case you aren't seeing the difrence here is another angle w/o gauge faces

Both faces

Both backs
Top Century Bottom Regal. As you can see all gauge clusters had a slot for 4 needles and Driver Information Center.

This is the spot where the 4th needle on the regal would be controlled. the Century board doesn't have the clips that you see to the right for the gas needle. Not sure if soldering those pieces would unlock that feature. Regal gauges came w/o the board plus using the one in the car already keeps the original miles.

One more post to add is difrence between regal and century doors is this....
Plastic panels on the bottom to square it out. Might do this if I find the right color front and rear end. Sems like no regal w/o front end damage on and off the road exist.

 

Plan B regal gauges didn't work.

The Century gauges look really good with the regal bezel. What year was the Regal you got the gauges from? According to regalgs, they're really picky about which years will work in the Century. From what I read, only 1997-1998, 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004 will work, so you may have to find one out of a '97 or '98 to work in yours.

 

Trunk brake lights and cluster sans board were 1999 Regal LS pictured above in the door comparison pic. With my board the fuel and speedo worked. Tach malfunctioned due to the resistors and a 4th connection missing from the board. Temp not work missing resistors and 3 connectors.


Took the overlay and put it on the Century one for now. So far the mods were Canadian ABS and Brake lights and regal 5 rings.


Sneak peak at next mod

 

Interesting intake setup. Is that filter going to be big enough?

What are the other two pieces?

 

F Body ECU bracket and vent pipe flashing if I need to put the filter out of the engine bay. I installed it temporarily with the most of the media taped up and only the top open. I may cover the filter and only leave the top open to the fender.

 

Merc6's Build thread has come to an end. I'm still in the GM family but not a Buick.

Teaser pic of what it is.

 

Forgot to come back with the pics.
