When Aaron was showing us the Photoshop wizardry, my eyes glazed over and I started drooling on myself. Maybe I'm not cut out for that kind of thing... 😉
You absolutely will. Bronco was again, the right rig at the wrong time. The value of the square bodies has jumped so much, we had to jump on this one. Its running and driving down the road and we won't be doing anything major until the F350 and Silverado are done
I really like that you can map a curve with so many plot points if you have an odd shaped tank, that's something a couple of machine manufacturers still haven't figured out today.
Yep, you really don't need that much detail till 1/2 way, I am more of a trip person myself, I know how far I go per tank, and if I get less there is something wrong that I need to look at.
Those dashes are awesome! I’ve seen others use aftermarket digital dashed that cover the oem dash and they just don’t look right to me. They may get the job done, but the clean lines of how you’ve done yours are perfect!
Yes Rich this is way cool and honestly. If someone is watching your channel and not learning something. They are either a rock or not paying attention. Thanks.
Hey Rich, I just want to thank you for being an inspiration to have a go at anything. Keep up the great work Cheers from the Northern Rivers NSW, Aus :)
This might be a thing of sight. As a german i always scratch my head when i have to work on US-Cars. Probably there where different standards in Europe and the rest of the World.
Rich this is some of the best information ever. You are right on point with what guys want for engine swaps. Still sayin it.... Best chanel on RU-vid!!! 🤯
Wow thats crazy what can be done with this dash. If someone wanted to take the time to add a gallon and check the ohms they could have a more accurate gauge than any right from the factory.
Can't wait to see what you do for the Bronco dash, I'm putting a Pro 7" into my 94' and want it to look stock, colors and all.... except the boost gauge :D
When you're measuring such a small resistance don't forget to short your multimeter leads and subtract that resistance from the reading, it's not unusual for the leads to have an ohm or so of resistance which in this case could be 25% of your reading
I really prefer physical needles over an LCD screen for the gauges, but I'm weird like that. Or maybe I'm just bored of screens, if it was some sci-fi tier holographic projection I'd feel like a little kid again watching a cool toy commercial on TV.
I agree, needle gauges aren't distracting you jumping around in your peripheral vision like digital stuff does. The digital is nice from a user customizable standpoint, but for the price tag I'll stick with analog gauges and a small LCD for other indications.
Wow this is so helpful for the guy building their dream ride ! This system really beats the average tablet setup that cannot fit all the important gauges at a visible size
just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier to syphon out the fuel until empty and then do the measurement there rather than on the side of the 401 when it goes to 0?
didnt you mention a special oil or additive to reduce blowby and increase compression a little bit? i remember it being a product that fleets use but i cant remember who mentioned it.
It can be either or, depending on how it is set up. It can show 0 ohms at full and x ohms at empty or it can show x ohms while full or 0 ohms while empty. All you have to do to verify the ohms at full or empty is test the resistance with a multimeter at the level wire when its full and then after some fuel is burned, test to see which direction it goes. You can manually actuate the float arm or take your readings from a physically full tank and empty tank to get accurate, true readings for the specific tank and sensor.
I'm interested on how configurable the holley stuff is. Want to do a wide rectangular speedo with the needle pivot off of the display like my old Ford. Have yet to see it like that, will play with it some day...
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Wow! Thanks for the reply. Hopefully they figure it out because I'd like to set it up to look like my oem cluster exactly, even down to scanning in the gauge face.
Greetings: I am not up on the Hitler stuff but I'm thinking Ur correct. Also I think he stated it in reverse. He said 4 ohm Full. If above is correct a significant increased value would B a lower fuel level. I could B wrong. "Probably not".
anyone know where i could find a video hooking up a digital dash for say an electric golf cart that shows battery level, power coming in from solar, mph, trip
Holley charges so much for these sub par screens. I have the 7” and wasn’t impressed, buggy, looks grainy. And the absolute least they could do is offer a quick gauge layout editor so you don’t have to drag and drop crap by hand on the screen itself. And before you say you can connect a mouse, I’ve tried several and they appear but once you start moving it around the cursor disappears. Junk
Greetings sir and all. Not 2 B negative, but 2 clarify: U stated the Full level measured 4 ohms. Later in setting the display U said the displayed fuel kevel would increase with resistance. I find this contrary and the inverse 2 B correct. I do not work on 'Hitlers' much so I cannot affirm or deny my observation. By now I presume the correction had been made. Keep up the good work. 👍
