    Pretty cool!

    Looks like your voltmeter on dash is off some


    Does it charge the phone too?

      No, the OTG cable I bought is a $1.69 cheapy, just used to fetch ALDL datastream.

      Actually it's pretty darn close, the pointer on dash voltmeter is a hair under the 14v line.
      I've found that if wiring and such is in good order, the '86-'91 gauges are accurate.

        Looks like you are running a bit warm. Do you have a shroud?

          Not warm @ all, ~200* w/ a 195* thermostat is normal for these.

              Since we are pre-OBD vehicles, what do you connect to for information?

                    Dunno honestly, just searched for OTG cable and bought cheapo from China.
                    You also need, an ALDL interface(usb), and EFI(obviously).
