Dimmable LEDs? And no update? Way to leave us wanting...
Nick G. 1984 Dodge Rampage
I'll jump start the car this weekend and find out. Haven't had time to do anything to it for oh, about 10 months now.
Reeves is running a different backing plate, so the sensor mounting is different, but otherwise his car and mine are using the same type of setup:

I'm assuming the reason you put it on the rear because you don't have to worry about them spinning?

NICE !!
I know that line of gauges , I have the oil temp and volt set for my truck
one thing , the orange K car pointers I've mentioned before on the rest of the stock gauges would make everything look a little more oem
also , if you compare them to the inovative gauges they match pretty well except for the trim ring looking different
judgeing from the lettering on the gauge faces they may well be from the same maker / supplier
They gauge cluster lights I got are dimmable for sure. Work great. I removed the blue condoms from the gauge cluster so that the white light shines through to better match the speedometer. The gauge cluster lighting still has kind of a green hue for some reason. The speedometer lighting (built in) is pure white. They don’t match exactly, but it’s fine with me. Also, the speedometer doesn’t dim at all. Once you get the dimmer knob down to a certain spot, the light(s) in the speedometer just go out. The instructions say that a dimmer is available and provides a part number. I may look into that option before Drag Week. See current pics (taken at SDAC)
We wanted to try out the Boost vs Speed table in the logic module. We needed a way to get a good speed input without the wheels spinning. We first tried a GPS based module, and while it was very accurate, it failed to update fast enough. So we (Warren Hall and I) came up with a setup for the rear wheel using a proximity sensor and a machined hub. See pics. This is what is feeding my LM and new speedo.
We tried the table a couple of times with not so good results so far. The logic module boost control is still not working properly.

I got to take a peek at this on the showfield at Carlisle. I can't believe how clean this conversion ended up. Nice work James!

Ordered mine yesterday. James, I'll be calling to ask a few questions probably.
Can you identify which wire on the LM you tapped into?

This one on the red connector?
9 G7 22 WT/OR* Speed/distance sensor signal
Tap in and then what? Just follow the instructions to calibrate the speedo? If so, sounds super simple! Can't wait!!

Jon, what do you need a speedometer for? Why not just have a display that shows the pulses and do the calculation in your head?

Reeves, did you use the glass or the bezel at all? Mine arrived today, but it was damaged on the glass and the trim. But if I'm not going to have to use it, probably not going to send it back.

I'm reading, but not sure I see where the other wire for the trip/program button goes? Diagram only shows and mentions one wire, but there are two. Where did the "other" wire go?
