Hi, I'm working on my 68 Charger and getting ready to redo dash board. I have all new wiring but I can't affored to get the ralley gauges sent out and redone right now. How can I check to see if the alt, oil, temp, speedo and fuel gauges work? Also is there a way to check the switchs like the washer, lights, etc., to see if they work? I have everything off the front of the car so I can't just hook it up to test them out. And last, my car came with A/C but I'm not going to run it that way. I was going to clean up my heater box, take out the A/C condensor to shed some weight, and just put a new heater core in it. Will I run into any problems doing that? What color black did they use on the dash frame?

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Bob
