Thanks

Complete gauge set with senders and bezel for under $350.00
I'm considering a set for my 64'. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | I used New Vintage 'Woodward series' gauges in my small block powered '50,the kit comes complete with all senders etc. Available in beige or black. Here they are installed ,I should add I have since put them the correct way round.

I should add my original ones were completely toast. Gauge Install.

You can get them with the adapter to fit the hole so you don't have to modify the old housing. We sell and install these gauges and they really look good

(at a price of course) I'm just cheap....or as I like to think,resourceful.
