Gauge Question, found in an abandoned '74 Options

[BMartin914]

I found a gauge in a '74 914 that I am unsure about. The gauge is a fuel level, brake, oil, alt. and temp gauge. I was under the impression that the fuel/temp combo gauge only came in the 914/6s. This car has no swaybars, no center gauge console but has the reverse out vinyl striping. Was originally a 1.8.

Does anyone think this is a 914/6 gauge or is it no big deal?

My '75 has a similar gauge (red is about 1/4 of the way from the end of the gauge on my car, 1/2 of the way on this gauge). PO told me that my gauge is an original 914/6.

Thanks.

It has a temp scale, fuel scale and 3 idiot lights- Brake, gen, oil..?
Look for a date stamp on the back.
It's probably the 914 gauge, BUT! The 3 gauge 912's and many late 356's had this gauge in them. They work great.
I have one in my car- but the oil temp gauge uses a special sender- it reads reisistance backwards from more modern-er gauges- if you dont have the right sender it pegs when you turn the car on and after a while it may read 1/2 HOT if it works at all.
Is the trim ring around the gauge chrome or black?
Chrome is 912/911 up to late 67'. Black is a 68' or the 914 2.0 gauge.
And the black trim gauges usually have the orange needles...
You guys know you can "remove" the big E-brake warning lense from the stock 914 gauge and stick a temp gauge right in there?
Pretty simple, not sure why nobody does it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
