<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

Sun actually did make black painted cups for blue and green line 2 5/8&quot; 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.

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 !!!!

66SS427,

Tell us about the 67 SS 427 LS7 Nova convertible in your signature. Sounds interesting to say the least.

Thanks,

Jason

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.
