Any reason not to ditch the diode system and just put everything onto a keyed switch with 3 or 4 posts?
275, have had it for about a year now. The gauges have never done anything and there's a mess under the dash from previous owners. I currently have other stuff taken apart and would like to tackle the gauges. Although with the original electrical setup you can't test anything without the engine running. Got me thinking, why even bother with this system that uses a diode wire to active everything? Why not put everything onto a 3 way key?
