Ok, I have some birthday cash burning a hole in my pocket. It's not much so I'm mainly buying trick stuff like Glo-Gauges, billet parts, etc. I have a question pertaining to the glo gauges.... I currently have two 2" autometer gauges tapped into the 5 amp fuse that controls the gauge cluster lights when I turn on the headlights. Now, if I buy the NR auto gauges, do I have to tap into this type of fuse or splice a wire into a hot wire? I'm not sure where I have to get the power for them to light up. Another problem....I have underdrive pullies and since I've been adding small things that require a little bit of power to light, I want to replace the underdrive alternator pulley with the stock one to keep the power up at idle. Can I just put the pulley on without belt problems? I'm assuming the tensioner will just keep the belt tight around the stock pulley but I wanted to make sure. Thanks a ton guys! By the way, is NR auto the only good brand of glo gauges? I don't like APC's because the entire gauge is panel is white rather than just the gauge faces. Thanks again!

Your best bet is to use an unused fuse block in the panel or to run a wire directly from the battery and run your accessories off that wire with inline fuses for each accessory. That way you are not in danger of overloading and fuses. If you tapped into another fused wire you could overload that fuse and blow it regularly. and if you replace the fuse with a higher rated one, you run the risk of frying the divice the fused circuit was originally meant for. You may want to look at products like lightning audio which make a lot of power distribution boxes that people with high end stereo systems use. You could also use these for other accesories.

As far as the alternator pully I don't think you would really need to chang it if it is working propperly now. Illuminated guages don't pull enough current to really make a difference unless you are running a rediculously high number of them.

dont know about the guages but have rn intthe prob with the pulley and the underdrive on the alt. want sufficent at idle on a gt we replaced it with the stock and had no more worries
