im looking for a combo dash gauge for a 1973 2.0 that had a center console, im looking for something in very good-excellent condition
this may be another one of my "duh" questions, but what is the differance in combo gauge between a factory console car and non console?
mike
the one im looking for should be this one
I would think if the car had a console it would have a temp gauge in the console. That might be a combo gauge for a car without the console.......
this may be helpful to you. i beleive somewhere on this site is a chart of the different gauges, for which year and it's parts #'s... does anyone know where? i cant seem to find it again.
if someone could find that it would be great, its starting to get very confusing trying to find the right one,
I think this one is for your car
my "duh". it just hit me if you had a temp gauge you would have the "taco plate w/ sending unit" on the bottom of the engine case. look underneath for it.
my question is are you conserned about going back to original? upgrading to oil temp reading gauge is benifitial. if you have no console why not find the combo. gauge w/ oil temp.? of course you may also have to add the taco plate/sending unit

i bought a rust free 1973 2.0 roller that came with engine but no interior or wiring, from the past history it was fully optioned before it was parted out some time ago i also have a 73 2.0 parts car that im using some parts but mostly searching for parts here and there that are in very nice condition, my plan is restore it back to what is it was originally.
Just to stir things up and add to your dilemma, there are actually 2 combo gauges with oil temp for a 73. The difference is the size of the red warning area. I don't think you'll find any info about which is correct for your VIN unless there is a member here that knows. Both are silver button for "most" 73's:
I think the "large red" gauge is early 73 and "small red" is late 73. 'Course, you could install the gauge and use the empty hole in the console for an oil pressure gauge or a cylinder head temp gauge.
