I would tend to agree with leaving the Dixco set where they are. The Sun and SW gauges are probably more 'period correct' and maybe even more trustworthy overall, but the Dixco units are certainly acceptable. (Just another humble opinion.)

BTW, Great Car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I think a set of modern Sunpro's would be better, take those Dixcos out and send them to me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Jerry's opinion is just that, certainly not a marching order! Those are Dixco gauges, and were not Yenko installed in the Yenko Deuce Novas in '70. So, they are certainly period correct for your car. The SW greenlines are period correct as well, and would also look very nice installed in your car.

Just correcting my typo! These gauges were indeed installed by Yenko in the Deuces. The Sun Pro gauges would also look good!

No kidding, well that is pretty cool. These exact gauges were in Yenco 70 Nova's? Or another style Dixco gauge?
So are these valuable?

Dixco was a division of Dixson, Inc.

You're right on the money with those gauges. However, I think a set of original Blue Line Sun accessory gauges and a nice 10 grand blue line tach would do the Lemans Blue Paint justice. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Rare? I guess it depends on where you look...at my house they're rather plentiful. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

That is great!
Wonder when they stopped making these? I had trouble finding info on these gauges when looking on google....

Bruce,
I think you hit the nail on the head for sure.
A very knowledgeable bunch here for sure. Glad I was turned on to the site.
