Re: Gauges
Ratpack
I had a NOS Sun green line 8000 rpm tach in the box with a stamped date of 4-68. I also have color ads in 1968 magazines that still show the greenline tach and 2 5/8 gauges. When Tim said they stopped making them in '67-were they just selling the inventory off through '68 or just never updated their ads?
The very earliest blueline gauge I have seen in print is a early January/February? issue of Pop Hot Rodding with a '57 Chevy. Nowing the press time of mags of 3-4 months the bluelines hit the public in early-mid '68??
For you SW buffs, Speedometer Service Co. in Pittsburgh has been a SW regional Warehouse/distributor/ dealer for 40+ years-and in the same location. Anyone ever try to see what they have on their old dusty shelves? Sorry no Sun stuff I already tried. No interest in SW.
