I have a hard time telling the little variations, but it looks just exactly like the one in my '75, which would make it 73-80 I think.

Aaah man, y'all beat me to it. I wasn't as close as Joe, but I had most of the clues....

I don't see how guys like that keep a perfect feedback. If someone puts that in a 77 up it could fry....

Are you guys sure about the amp meter? I'll have to look when I get home,but I'm almost positive my 76 has a volt meter. Maybe
Crossy will clear this up for us.

Good Luck

Tom

Thumbs up

I e-mailed the seller a couple days ago. I figured he would not reply, so that is why I posted it here.

Well, he in fact just replied...it is a 1975 cluster.

Thanks for the help guys!
