[DeTomaso] Headlamp replacement and aiming advice.

[Paul A. Rimov]

Morning Tom:

Upgrading to new gauges is pretty straightforward. There are an endless 
array of choices of gauges available. VDO cockpit series have been one of 
the more popular choices and look "period-correct" That's to say more German 
"period-correct" than Italian. Keep in mind you will also need to replace 
the senders with correct corresponding senders including the fuel sender 
which is a little more complicated than the oil sender and temperature 
sender. However, with that said some of the newer gauges can be calibrated 
to given senders. Also it is advisable to replace the amp meter with a volt 
meter and that will require some re-wiring.
