Anyone using Newer Style Stewart Warner Gauges? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at the SW gauges for my cluster but don't see many guys using them lately. http://www.sw-performance.com/

Just wondering if there were any quality issues before I buy.

I ran a set of 8 in my '69 Camaro I built a few years back. They worked great and was very happy with them overall. I did buy the blue LED conversion offered, which looked awesome but I had problems with the LED's failing. I went back to the standard bulbs with red covers and never had a problem after that.

Here's a pic.

I was going to use them in a cluster for my 74. I like the fact that the speedo is 'only' to 160 & the tach 'only' 8Krpm vs. Autometers 10K/200mph offerings.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
