Re: gauges

Which gauges - fuel, coolant, oil, volts, or tach and speedometer, or all?

If "do not work right" means not working at all, did you check the GAGES fuse (#9 in instrument panel fuse block)? Also the POWER ACCY fuse #7.

If it means they are working but not indicating the correct values, describe in detail what they are doing.

Re: gauges

If this is a brand new engine build, you need to get a mechanical pressure gauge on there before you run it again. Could be a problem with the oil pump or engine internals. Priority before assuming the gauge, sensor, or wiring is at fault.
