Looking for the needles for the gas, volts, temp. & oil gauges. for my 83 el camino. Does any one know where i can purchase these items?

I have been able to get some from my local speedo calibration shop, not exactly OEM, but they work and look good.

A set of the four gages are real common on xXxx, from a number of "professional" suppliers. You shouldn't have to pay more than maybe $25. But be sure you get the correct ones for your year; '86-'87 types have a different-appearing face from the earlier ones (and in the opinion of many, looked "dumbed-down").

That would likely be far easier than attempting to replace just the needles on your existing set, with less potential for permanent damage.

Try these guys -
Bob's Speedometer Inc. They are located in Howell Michigan and specialize in gauge restoration. Ask for Dennis Brock - he's the shop manager and a great guy. I went up there this past summer and met the guys, walked thru their shop and saw their work. They do good work and can probably come up with some needles/pointers for you. (They did for me). You can call them at 1-800-592-9673, or 810-632-0400, or email them at bobsspeedometer@aol.com
Good hunting.
