Jim:
The original guages in the '70 Yenko Novas were not Stewart Warner Greenlines, but rather Dixco brands. These guages are very hard to find these days, mainly because they were not high quality items and have not survived. I have found a few NOS sets on EBAY, I bought one set and notified other Yenko Nova owners about the other sets.

They are not very expensive when found, but I would not rely on them in my car. It would be a better choice for you to install the current black face, white lettering SW guages in your car at this time, and be on the lookout for the original Dixco guages as a conversation piece.

I do not plan to install the Dixco guages in my car, since it may have had SW greenline guages installed by the first owner who purchased them through the Yenko catalog. That is generally the only way SW-Greenlines found their way into a '70 Yenko Nova.

Best of luck,
M
