Gauges for bags are tucked away, out of sight. I was looking to do the OE style in dash air gauge just for the 'rare' factor & use it for the tank pressure.

Because of the cost factor (300+) for 'restored' OE style gauges w/a re-pop tach, it's a harder decision w/brand new gauges (speedo, tach, oil psi, h2o temp, fuel level, & volts) coming in @ about $400 & change. Less than $100 difference in price but the OE look uses 45yr old gauges vs. the aftermarket units being new....

I'm just not a fan of tachs on the column. I prefer everything to match.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
