Hey guys. Thanks for the props!
Yes, I'm still in business. Sorry about the email. I am working in the shop 8-10 hours per day; usually 6 days per week. If you can give me a call, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks!
Daniel
Hey Shawn,
It depends on the work that needs to be done, but a repair and calibration job is usually around $185. If it also needs to be restored, you're looking at $225.
You contacted me about the one I have listed on eBay for $250. If you would like to purchase that one directly (not on...
Sorry for the late reply, but you're correct! The gauge will return to zero with switch on. Otherwise, it remains fairly constant with the pressure it was showing at key off. These gauges are (were) built from original GM components which did not have a return to zero function. Lately, I am...
Hey guys! It's been a crazy bunch of years, but it's finally getting time for me to start planning my retirement. Being a part of this NastyZ group of people has been an amazing ride. I could have never ever gotten my business started without you. I truly appreciate all the support I've gotten...
NastyZ28.com has been amazing to me over the past 12 years or so. I've been able to meet a lot of really cool people, and do gauge restorations on everything from show winners to daily drivers. It's been amazing, and I want to sincerely thank you all for your support. Never could have done it...
It's been quite a while since I've been on here, but trying to get back in the groove :) So sorry for the late reply.
70-77 tachs are very finicky. The meter can sometimes be repaired if it's an electrical issue. If it's out of balance, then it almost assuredly is a no-go on the repair.
If you...
Yes, the tach will need to be grounded. The grounding for the tach is received through the rear printed circuit. On Trans Am, the clock and tach are grounded at the same location. Looking at the rear of the tach, the upper left blade is for tach signal, the upper right blade is for 12V+...
Assuming all the gauges were tested and are accurate (including speedometer and tachometer), a complete restoration and calibration of the gauges for 79-81 Camaro will cost approx. $650 ( with a new lens, and NOS pointers). This price does not include gauge repair. Speedometer and tach...
Thank you so much for all the support!
This incident happened the Tuesday before Mother's Day. At the time it looked like I was going to spend Mothers Day without her. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Thanks again!

On may 7, my mom suffered a brain hemorrhage that paralyzed her and caused a few other problems. Mom lives in Easley SC, which is 4 hrs away from my home. I packed a bag and took off to SC, where I have been for the most part of the time since May 7. Glory to God, she has miraculously survived...
The tach signal is sent when the coil fires. Basically, if the car is running, the tach signal is present. The tach signal is sent from the neg side of the coil on both HEI distributors, and "points" distributor systems.
On 78-81 models, the tach should return to 0 when power is ON (engine...
Thanks for contacting me. Your gauges will need to be inspected and tested beofre giving you an accurate quote. Costs can vary widely depending on the amount of work to be done. Please feel free to give me a call and I will be glad to give you an estimated price. I'll just need to ask a few...
Thanks again for the support. I really appreciate it!
The "light thru" gauges are on the back burner, but they will be available. All of the R&D needs to be completed completed before bringing them to market. I may have jumped the gun a little by posting the pics last year. I am very excited...
Thanks for the props! An example of the oil pressure gauge is installed in the second set (with carbon fiber film), and is placed in the clock location.
Thanks again!
Daniel
Here are a few pics of upgrade gauge restorations that were completed for customers within the past couple of weeks. This is just an example of resto-mod type restorations that are available at Gauge Marks. The sky's the limit! If you need gauge restoration, repairs, and/or calibrations, please...
The temp gauge will receive voltage (and a signal from the temperature sensor sender) via the printed circuit on back of the gauge cluster. There is a wire that will connect to the sender, but it isn't connected directly to the gauge itself. The wire is part of the wiring harness that plugs into...
