Any one have an opinion on the deluxe gauges, old vs new? Also were electric gauges used much back in the day? I remember the early 70's here, Sun tach and SW oil and water gauge were standard in lots of cars. As I remember everything was mechanical. Did Yenko use mechanical or electric gauges as an option. How were they routed through the firewall? Drilled a big hole? Hoping that Joe, the gauge guru, pops in.

I lean toward the classic SW gauges -- of course I am old school. The Nova I am building has mechanical water and trans temp, oil pressure, and a volt gauge. Had to build my own four gauge panel -- all I could find were three gauge. Craig
