Fuel Pressure Gauge
Tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience here, to ask what were the most popular Day 2 fuel pressure gauges to mount on the hood or cowl vent in the late 60's/early 70's? What size gauges, and were they cup-mounted or just bracketed?
Thanks in advance! |

Certainly no expert but I'd guess SW & Sun
Here is my SW fuel gauge. Edit: Sorry Failed to comment on the rest of your post as I was searching for my photo I added below. Yes Cup mount was more common as Jim mentioned below from what I have seen as well. I'd have to measure mine but I believe its 2 5/8" going off the top of my head. |
I'm no expert by any stretch but with all the photos I look at on a daily basis it seems that late 60's/early '70's stuff tended to be cup mounted and the late '70's/'80's were open brackets

The ones I have seen are single Stewart Warner mounted with a single under dash chrome bezel flipped over and mounted to the cowl.

That blueline looks NOS. Those colors are fantastic

The Sun blue lines in a Chrome Cup are what I use based on looks only , but the SW’s work way better !

Restored gauge and cup...glass face, not plastic.

Thanks everyone. Have got some thinking ahead of me about what gauges to put back on, and where to mount them. I found a 60's aluminum deck-mount tach tube to put the Sun blue line 9k tach back where it was in '71, so that detail's sorted. The cowl vent has a couple of holes in the ribs right in front of the driver, so figured that was for a fuel pressure gauge. Other gauges fitted in the dash area are SW (water temp and oil pressure) so I guess going with Sun or SW would fit the period.

Interesting about the Sun gauge it looks very nice...where did you source the glass face for your fuel pressure gauge ?
