    Here's a couple of pics of the vintage S/W mechanical gauges I installed as someone requested.

    I can probably tell you why our gauges are in the same location...There are two holes in the bottem of the dash from the factory that line up perfectly with most of the two gauge panels, so you don't have to drill any holes.
    Yes, both gauges illuminate with the headlight switch. Notice the offset Auto Meter rings that tilt the gauges toward the driver?

    Good call! I used those screw holes too. but mine dont tilt like that. They illuminate, but the light doesnt match the dash light so I might change them someday.

    Those are nice gauges. We had the same set in our 71 Ford Pickup. Looking good. I am very impressed with all aspects of your car!
