Here’s my Nova with all the SUN gauges on the dash.
Moroso cable drive tach & SUN fuel pressure outside.

Looks awesome!

Sorry😕

Dom,

Thanks for looking. Your grille was replaced in the 67 as its not painted and the SS emblem

is off to the side and not drilled.

I have the catalog...I should look to see if it was made.

Dave,
That picture is 40 freakin years old 😢
I certainly didn’t know anything about the grille back then🤣
All I knew was to mash the gas and shift the Hurst Auto Stick 1 that controlled the Vitar Turbo 400 😬

Good Evening All,
I tinker with Sun Gauges. I have lots of them.
I change out the plastic lenses and put glass in there instead !!!
I’ve had custom faces made too. Changed higher pressure gauges to read FUEL for EFI applications.
Later,
Dominic


Nice! I'm sure you will be getting custom requests after this.

Looks like in the '68 catalog Fuel pressure was only available in a Black and White face for 2 5/8". It also bugs me that SW never made a Black and White face 2 5/8" Voltmeter like SUN.

Thanks for all the comments and pictures. I've decided to go with a SW to match the oil pressure and temp gauges that were in the car (below) when it was raced. But they'll be mounted together on the cowl vent to keep the fuel gauge out of the passenger compartment.
They're only ~2" across the face, but should be visible in line of sight, and I really like the simple look of this style gauge.

The 1968 SW catalog is an awesome source!
Thanks
