I nearly done retrofitting the electronic dashboard with steam gauges. It wasn't too difficult but it would not be easy without the wiring diagram. I used SW gauges with a Speedhut tachometer. I matched the sending units to the gauges except for the fuel gauge. In this case, I matched a gauge to the sending unit in the tank. I used all of the existing wires to the dashboard and didn't have to run any new ones. If anyone has questions or wants pictures, please reply and I'll share.

Would you be willing to share your part numbers used in this conversion? I am about to do the same so if you have anything you could share, pics, advice, wires used, whatever, I would appreciate it. Very nice job. It looks like it should have from new.

I don't have a compiled list of part numbers but you should be able to source the gauges from the pictures. If there's a specific question that you have, I will help. Good luck with your project!

Elmouca,
Please share the retrofit of your EIC. Mine just went out and I can't find a replacement. I have the wire diagram for the machine so I think I can do it. Any help would be great.

You can try contacting Mike Fyock on Facebook (the one that lives in Lititz, PA). I had the same problem a while back. He was building adapter cables to be able to use newer model boards in the older machines. He included the board, adapter cable, and mounting plate to fit. Has worked fine for me.
