What's the temp gauge for- oil?
Yes.
But I dispute the "ultra-rare" bit. These were installed in all 1973 and early 1974 cars that did not come with the the optional center console and its oil temp gauge.
http://www.p914.com/p914_gauges_combo.htmSpend an hour taping, sanding, and spray painting those rings. Prob make the sale easier.
Edit: P914 characterizes them as "...part number 914 641 101 30, came only in the 1973 2.0L models in which the popular "Appearance Group" was not ordered, making them
extremely rare. As with all "silver button" gauges, the two-piece, painted steel bezel on these units is prone to rust."
So I guess you got me there. But when was looking for one last month (my early 1974 did not come with the Appearance Group, so maybe it's ultra rare) I found a few of them pretty quickly...
Also, if you look up under the top of the gauge, you can actually get the exact part number for reference.
GLWS!
