Grumble grumble....gonna install aftermarket gauge need help with retro gauge

[dieseldazzle]

Well,

If you havent read my issue with my 67 charger running warm Ill go ahead and let you know that Ive decided to install an auxillary/aftermarket gauge to make sure the factory gauge isnt coo coo.

Im going to install oil pressure and water temp.

My question is (and I guess its maybe for the older fellows? Im only 38) what oil pressure and water temp gauges would have been a day two mod, if you will, in 1967? Or what gauge style and face is period correct?

If I have to detract from my beautiful 47 year old interior I figure it may as well be with a retro style gauge.

Maybe some type of stewart warner?

I dont want to white faced super cool rainbow color doo dad hanging anywhere off of my 67 charger.

Thanks fellas.

I used Autometer Pro Comp Ultra Lites in mine. I made a brushed aluminum 2 gauge panel to hold them.
Sorry dont have any pics of them.

no grumble grumble...keepin' tabs on what the motor is doing is a crucial thing! and 47 year old gauges don't cut it no mo'. lol

here's mine...auto meters from summit with white faced doo dad gauges. nevermind the stupid 90's mustang tach, I have since eliminated it.

Would those white face gauges have been period correct fellas? I dont know. I was swimming around in my dads nut sack back then....

Those Stewart Warners would look correct I would say.
The ultra lites I used are silver faced, kind of goes along with the 4 big round gauge clusters in a 66-67.

SW blackface, chrome bezel would be period correct.

Thanks folks. Guess thats what Ill be going with.

trashdog 67 is absolutely correct. Stewart Warner was THE gauge and CHROME was the panel.

These are exactly what I want for my 64 Dodge nostalgia street and strip. I like the larger guages with the full sweep needle. Easy to see at a glance while drag racing. Where did you get these guages?...............MO

Nice!

Nice, Benno, but not available in the 60s.

Whatever "style" you decide on I suggest using full sweep gauges......you get a more accurate reading with full sweep....

If you are just checking factor gauges leave them in the engine compartment and will not distract from factor dash.
