Re: How Day 2 are hood mounted gauges?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Bernhard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
I was wondering are they a true day two look for 69? The cups we were running were black would that still work for day two or should they be chrome? </div></div> Run chrome cups. Not aware of any gauge company making black cups back in 69 other than Sun would offered a black tach cup but all the gauge cups were chrome.Auto Meter did not come out with their oil/water/fuel pressure gauges until 1973 and only black cups where available by AM back then. I do have a complete set of early AM gauges all nos. Early 70's stuff with the fat bezel and correct lettering |

Re: How Day 2 are hood mounted gauges?
Sun actually did make black painted cups for blue and green line 2 5/8" gauges. I have a couple of them NOS. GCB-1
If you have any rusted chrome cups, they can easily be stripped and then painted or powder coated. I like chrome myself. [img:left]http://[/img] Here's a shot of my Nova back in the late 70's. I had 5 gauges and a MOROSO Tach on the dash and the FUEL PRESSURE outside !!!! [img:center]http://[/img]

Re: How Day 2 are hood mounted gauges?
Hi Jason,
You can see the build thread here on Steves Nova Site. http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums...hlight=1966rat I actually drive it around the neighborhood !!!! No windows or lights LOL. I took a little break from it since I got it back, but have gained back a little interest and have been tinkering. I need to get a few small things welded and then take it all apart for paint. UGH [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] I see you sell some NOS Sun stuff. Do you do any restoring/fixing tachs ? Thanks, Dominic

Sorry for the delay in response. Awesome Nova! I am into vintage gauges but don't do much work on them.
