Went to an auction sale today and came home with this fantastic box of Stewart Warner guages, among others!!! There's a couple of tach, couple of oil pressure guages, a vacuum gauge, etc. I do have a question, what is the stewart warner piece in the last two pictures? It doesn't appear to be a guage. On the back it says meter +, meter-, and distibutor. thanks

Good find. I would say that the last two pictures are a SW sending unit for one of the tachs.

I did a little searching and I didnt see a picture but the sending unit was described as red with a black base...LockDoc is correct.

Thanks guys for figuring it out. I kinda thought it had something to do with spark or a tach, but wasn't sure.
