Default Re: 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS5 Convertible

But what puzzles me is that these cars came without an oil pressure gauge and instead in it's place an &quot;idiot&quot; light. Does anyone on SYC hate idiot lights?Don't know what they were thinking back then because it appears that a dash clock is more important....with a dash that size they could've placed a fuel gauge where the clock currently sits and placed an oil pressure gauge where the fuel gauge sits. I could be wrong but I've seen that some clocks were optional on '70 Chevelles. If you absolutely needed a clock, why could they have had an optional tic-toc tach...but that's just me.
