TIA. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 | The capillary tube on my 1954 (235) Chevy truck temperature gauge is 52" from back surface of the gauge cluster to tip of temperature probe. Hope this helps.

Mike did guages for me several years ago and they are working fine. I have sent a lot of folks over there in the past and just this past Friday and took him a guage to repair out of a 57 chev car. He does good work and very reputable.
864-421-9959 and ask for Mike or Diane and tell them Alvin said to call.....and to give you a discount!!! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Thanks Alvin, I've heard you mention them before but didn't know if they were local or would take guages Thru the mail. I'll print out their number and give them a call when I get the gauge out. Right now I'm trying to get a carb on her that dosn't leak fuel out of every joint.
